“One of the biggest secrets I had with Mike was that he needed to have sex in the dressing room before fights. I had to find a fan, no matter who it was. He said, 'If I don't get laid, I'm going to kill this guy right now.' I had the girls hiding in bathrooms and changing rooms. Sometimes he would stay with them for a minute, have sex and say, 'Okay, this guy is going to live tonight.' His biggest fear was killing someone in that ring. He knew he could do it,” Gonzalez revealed.

Considered one of the biggest names in the history of the noble art, Tyson has more than 5 professional fights in his career. The former heavyweight champion, 'Iron' has a record of 50 wins with 44 knockouts, five victories by decision, one by disqualification and just six defeats.
