Time traveler:
In September 2015, footage from one of Mike Tyson’s fights was posted on YouTube by a channel called JammyBantam who titled the video: “Unexplained Time Traveller Seen at Mike Tyson Fight!!!”
The footage is from a fight that took place in 1995, which was way before smartphones even existed! In the description, JammyBantam wrote:
“1995 fight between Mike Tyson and Peter McNeeley in Las Vegas. Someone in the crowd is seen taking a picture from what appears to a smart phone device, or a device way ahead of the 90’s. Aliens!!!”
Did bite an ear off:
The episode delves into Tyson’s conviction and sentencing for the rape of 18-year-old Desiree Washington in 1992 and him biting off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear five years later. … Speaking to reporters in the aftermath of the fight, Tyson claimed the bites were retaliation for being head-butted in the second round.
Whose ear did bit off: Mike Tyson
Tyson had repeatedly complained about being head-butted in the first fight and Holyfield had opened a large cut over his right eye after ducking a punch in the second round.
Referee Mills Lane—who was brought in as a late replacement following protestation from Tyson camp over the selection of Mitch Halpern who had officiated the first fight—deemed the head-butt accidental and declined Tyson’s demands to penalize Holyfield.
Daughter treadmill:
The passing of Mike Tyson’s four-year-old daughter Exodus was a horrible and regretful accident. As per reports, Exodus Tyson was found at their home in Phoenix, Arizona, by her seven-year-old brother with a cable from a treadmill machine tangled around her neck.
