Mike Tyson says pet tiger knocked his teeth out trying to kiss it
By Bryan Rose
It’s been a rough few weeks for Mike Tyson apparently.
The boxing legend recently came out and said that he was ‘on the verge of death’ due to his abuse of drugs and alcohol, though, suggested that he had cleaned himself up, fearing for his life.
I guess that means he won’t be putting his lips near the face of his pet tiger again, I’m assuming which he did while either high or drunk (or both).
Tyson was a guest on the Conan show last evening where he talked about his addiction struggles and well, what happens when you get too close to the mouth of a tiger.
"“On one occasion I went ‘give me a kiss’ and she put her head in and boom I had gold teeth back then and she knocked my teeth out because her head is like concrete.”"
I’ve never put my head near a tiger’s mouth, though, I’m assuming if you come away with nothing more than some knocked out teeth – consider yourself lucky and go buy a lottery ticket.
Somewhere in Atlanta, Evander Holyfield is wondering where the hell karma is.
