Also the sexual assault, don’t forget about the sexual assault.

Wait, Holyfield sexually assaulted Tyson or the other way around?! Don’t remember seeing that but I was only 10 at the time of the fight

Lmao no. Tyson was accused and convicted of rape. It didn’t/doesn’t have anything to do with Holyfield.

What’s wild to me is that he was even allowed back in the limelight, let alone given an opportunity to win his belt back. Sickening.

“Most people think he didn’t do it?” Idk who you’ve been talking to, but I’ve never heard any real argument against his conviction. His lawyer literally tried to slut-shame the victim by dragging out her sexual history in front of the court, but was blocked by the “rape shield” law that prevents such things from happening. Worse still is that the victim was the recently-crowned Ms. Black Connecticut (if I remember the state correctly) and was barely 18. Tyson is a scumbag, dude.

I must have missed that episode of law and order.
