Mike Tyson's epic 2003 Hotel lobby brawl

[ross]

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.

there was also the airport incident not to long after the passing of his daughter, where he beat the shit out of a stalking paparazzi lol

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.

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
