Former heavyweight champion of the world "Iron" Mike Tyson may have been known as the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' during his heyday, but he's a lot more forgiving now that his career as a professional boxer is long over. Tyson recently revealed what he thought of Hollywood star Brad Pitt and how he held no grudges despite catching Pitt in a precarious situation.
The 49-year old Tyson recently appeared on American talk show program "The Real" and hosts asked the boxing legend to regale them of an interesting time when Tyson caught Pitt about to have sexual intercourse with his estranged ex-wife, Robin Givens.
Tyson claims that sometime in the 1980's, right before his pending divorce with Givens that he went back to the home he once shared with his wife to have another go at things when he caught Pitt sneaking around the house.
Although Tyson says he doesn't believe Pitt and Givens actually had sexual intercourse, he thinks they were just about to when he caught them and that the Fight Club star had acted funny when confronted.
Three decades later, Tyson maintains that he holds no ill feeling towards Pitt and that he has nothing but praises for the 52-year old actor.
Tyson was a former undisputed world champion and holds the record of being the youngest boxer to win the WBA, WBC and the IBF heavyweight titles at just a little over 20 years of age. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and became a pro-boxer in 1985.
Tyson had become famous for easily knocking opponents out and winning the mental games before fights even started. He was extremely aggressive and ruthless inside the ring, and had often run into a lot of trouble outside of it.
In 1991, Tyson was arrested for rape allegations of then 18-year old former beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington. Tyson was convicted of rape in 1992 and was sentenced to six years in prison followed by four years of probation. He was released in 1995 after serving just three years.
Tyson was victorious in his return to the ring against Peter McNeely, winning by disqualification.
Brad Pitt is an actor and producer who became famous for films such as Fight Club, 12 Monkeys and Interview with the Vampire. Pitt is a Golden Globe Award winner, a Screen Actors Guild Award winner and an Academy Award as a producer under his company Plan B Entertainment.
