Tyson’s former manager, Rory Holloway, wrote in his memoir ‘Taming the Beast: The Untold Story of Team Tyson’ (roughly translated: ‘Taming the Beast: The Untold Stories of Tyson’): “Mike is sat there enjoying his drink, a glass of Long Island tea, when I saw his face start to heat up. I told him to sit down and have a drink, but he walked straight towards Michael Jordan ‘s table .
Mike said: ‘Hey man, do you think I’m stupid? I know you slept with my wife. Tell me again.’

I looked over at Michael and saw that look on his face like I had seen a ghost. It was clear that Michael just wanted to get up and run away. The atmosphere began to become tense. Don King and I could only try to get Mike to sit on the chair.”Mike Tyson and Robin Givens divorced in 1988 after Robin accused her husband of mistreating her. Then, Tyson lost the heavyweight championship belt in 1991 and was prosecuted for rape. Although he tried hard to return, Tyson’s career could not return to its previous peak.
