‘That Freaked Me Out’: Mike Tyson Reacts to Absurd Conspiracy Theory Surrounding His Fight

In the old boxing era, the heavyweight division had some of the most amazing fighters of all time. Out of all, Mike Tyson had the most weight to his name, and he was rightly drawing everyone’s attention with some cracking in-ring performances. On top of this, Tyson always remained in the news with his life in and outside the ring.

Recently, a video surfaced on the internet pertaining to Tyson’s fight with Peter McNeeley in 1995. This video was from a podcast, ‘Iron’ Mike was a part of. Here, he talked about someone holding a camera phone back then, who eventually sat close to the ring for this fight.

“One of these phones, right? Yeah, iPhone right? Yeah, I saw that too. Somebody showed me that freaked me out. They showed me the guy. It’s him, only his phone. It looked like an Asian dude.” he said.
