Mike Tyson His name is involved in yet another controversy. Boxing legend, the fighter faces a new trial for alleged rape, having already served three years in the past. The woman in question says that the 'Iron' raped her in a limousine in the early 90s, after they met in a nightclub, located in Albany, New York.
According to reports, the woman requested compensation of US$5 million (around R$25 million, at current prices), for physical, emotional and psychological damages. She even chose to remain anonymous to avoid embarrassment and possible harassment from the media and the fighter's fans.

“I said no several times and asked him to stop, but he continued to attack me. He then pulled down my pants and violently raped me,” said the woman, in a statement to the police.
At 56 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 boxing, there are 50 victories – 44 of which were knockouts –, six defeats and two unsuccessful fights. He still doesn't have a date for a possible new presentation in the 'noble art', having been featured in fights against former rival Evander Holyfield and youtubers Logan and Jake Paul.
