Legendary boxer Mike Tyson was arrested for raping "Miss Black Rhode Island" Desiree Washington back in 1991. He eventually served only three of his six year jail sentence for the troubling crime, and later converted to Islam during his incarceration.
Therefore, people should NEVER bring up Tyson's shady past - especially on live television.
The 48-year-old "Baddest Man on the Planet" recently appeared on Toronto's popular CP24 news channel. Tyson's currently in Canada promoting his one-man "Undisputed Truth" show, and took some time off to meet with and endorse Rob Ford, the controversial politician running for reelection. Tyson considers him the "best mayor in Toronto's history" despite ongoing scandals both in and out of office. Broadcaster Nathan Downer figured this was the best time to bring-up Tyson's rapist past.
Tyson totally freaked-out when Downer mentioned that his status as a "convicted rapist" might hurt Ford even more. Although they were on live television, Tyson indulged in a very profane rant against the newscaster.
"You're being negative... You're really a piece of sh*t... F*ck you!" Tyson exclaims throughout the clip. He just couldn't let the comment slide.
Downer tries to calm him down by mentioning that they're live on the air, but that didn't stop "The Hangover" star. The redirect back to Broadway didn't even work.
"I don't care... What are you going to do about it?" Tyson even refers to Downer as a "rat piece of sh*t."
Check out the rather amusing (yet explicit) clip here:
Tyson wraps things up with another good ol' "f*ck you" send-off.
Well, Downer's status as a local news reporter just went viral! Get ready for the memes...
