“I'm really good at this stuff, but he managed to hold on. I was wrong, that should never have happened. That made me act like a child. I shouldn't have done that, but I was tired, stoned, irritated. But things like this happen,” Tyson said.
On that occasion, Melvin Townsend III met with Mike Tyson Outside the plane, he took a photo and declared himself a fan. However, inside the vehicle, the boy would have provoked the ex-boxer until they came to blows. Townsend was sitting behind Tyson and allegedly threw a bottle of water at the boxing legend, which caused his anger.
At 55 years old, Mike, who had been retired from professional boxing since 2005, returned to the ring in an exhibition fight against veteran Roy Jones Jr. On that occasion, the fight ended in a draw, but it 'kindled' a desire in 'Iron', which speculates on other duels in the sport. In his career in the 'noble art', there are 50 victories – 44 of which were knockouts -, six defeats and two unsuccessful fights.
