Mike Tyson recently said that he was broke and living paycheck to paycheck.
CS gives you more trivia on the man:
Tyson had a troubled childhood. His father abandoned his family when he was two and then his mother Smith died when he was 16 leaving him in the care of boxing manager and trainer Cus D'Amato.
Mike throughout his childhood stayed in an area where the crime rate was high. He was repeatedly caught committing petty crimes and fighting those who ridiculed his high-pitched voice and lisp. By the age of 13, he had been arrested 38 times.
He was the first ever and the youngest heavyweight champion to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles simultaneously
In 1992, Tyson was convicted of sexually assaulting Desiree Washington, for which he served three years in prison.
Mike Tyson probably took more punches in his shock 1990 defeat by James Buster Douglas than all the punches he had taken previously.
Mike was last seen playing a cameo in the film Hangover.u00a0
In 2007 a book chronicled his controversial match where he bit his opponent's ear. The book was called: The Last Great Fight: The Extraordinary Tale of Two Men and How One Fight Changed Their Lives Forever.
