Thread: Mike Tyson's epic 2003 Hotel lobby brawl

Does anyone remember this little chestnut from Tyson's past ?

BOXING - BOXING - Tyson Arrested After Fight in Hotel Lobby - NYTimes.com

Tyson Agrees to Plea Deal In Hotel Fight, Avoiding Jail - NYTimes.com

Apparently two thugs got into an argument with Mike, one of them threatened to shoot him and then they subsequently got the living shit beat out of them by Iron Mike

I remember there was choppy surveillance camera footage of the whole thing on the news back in the day, but I've had no luck finding it online.

I just remember Tyson sprinting after one of the men, leaping over a counter and then pummeling him.

Did he actually beat up that paparazzi ? I thought he just became hostile and threatening with him.

If he did beat him up then more power to him.

Ahh! I was hoping you had the footage!

My brother has seen it and said its funny as fuck! I havent seen it but have in the past searched for it.

Dick heads eh. Apparently like you say, they threatened to shoot him because he wouldnt sign an autograph and when he ran for them they picked up the bollard rope divider in the lobby to swing at him but got dropped before they could even try

Mike was waiting for a taxi to go se the Lewis v Klitschko fight.

He punched the invasive wanker in the forehead and bust him up. According to witnesses Mike was protecting his family and was in the right. Good for him I say.

I think this should become a Thread on Tysons out of ring antics, whether it be rumour or something you have genuine knowledge of. I'll start by asking if one rumour I heard is true.

Is it true that Mike Tyson hung Frank Warren out of a window following the Julius Francis fight? I heard it was something to do with money!

Yep, Mike went to a jewlery shop in London while over for the Francis fight and booked a diamond encrusted watch to Warren When Warren said he wasnt going to stump up for it Mike grabbed him

I know that about 5 years ago, Mike auctioned off his Bentley for a childrens heart clinic. It was $300,000.00

Steve Lott nearly got Mike back with Rooney in 2001 with the idea of a proper comeback but his cronies didnt want to lose their gravy boat so put him off the idea

I actually remember it being on the news that he'd been and bought this watch. Was it £5million? I remember thinking "wow, for a watch?" At the time, but I didn't know he'd got Warren to pay for it.

I remember him arriving that day in London too. He arrived hours after another superstar, (I think it was George Michael but can't be sure) and the press were amazed at just how many more people were there for Tysons arrival.

Whether you love him or hate him he was the last true worldwide sporting megastar and in his day was probably the most recognisable face in the world.

In the eighties he was the most famous person in the world next to michael jackson, im not sure there is anyone comparable today to the fame they had then as no one is consistantly in the headlines as much. Tyson had his own nintendo game, was a spokesoerson for the FBI, was sponsored by pepsi etc. Maybe David Beckham comes close?

I wish hed get off that vegan diet too. Have you seen how thin his neck has gone? Maybe thats not excercising but bis neck especially looked visably smaller after he lost weight.

I don't think Beckham is anywhere near the worldwide megastar Tyson was. I think he looks better than he did when he was fat, no matter how thin his neck is lol

yea, I saw Mike at Wrestlemania in Miami (hey I got in for free lol), and Tyson looked tiny compared to all these wrestlers lol, was the shortest of the bunch and looked very skinny

I heard v Tyson poked Warren in the eye but I also heard he got his own back and made Tyson sign something in the Saverse fight dressing room. Think that's why Tyson went a bit mental and blasted out poor Lou and said he wanted to eat Lennox children and never came back to England.

We've gotten a bit off topic, but these are some good Tyson stories none the less

During the Lewis fight Tyson was smoking pot and was not taking his training seriously but the British media thought they would make out he was training hard to build up the fight. Corrupt gits.

That hardly makes them currupt

I remember seeing a picture aken of Mike on a beach in Maui where his traininc camp was. In this picture he was stood in his pants, on the beach with agroup of hippys smoking potwith them

I remember another one of him jogging...... with his baby in a buggy! Maybe if your normal bloke at home and want to getfit but not when your the highest profile athlete in the world about to fight in one of the mosthigh profile fights ever!

He had abunch ofyes men around him therefor his moneyand to do as they were told. Idiots like that Steve "crocodile" Fitch! Who was he and what the fuck did he know about anything? He used tocome out with shit like "we call the sparring ring the killing floor"

Is it true that Mike came to his house one night but the doors got rekeyed. Mike goes around the house to find an entry and then her hears a car pull in. It was his ex with some guy we now all know name Brad Pitt.
