Mike Tyson, the ex-heavyweight boxing champion, has disclosed intriguing information after a private dinner with former President Donald Trump and members of his family at Mar-a-Lago. The dinner, which included Trump, former First Lady Melania Trump, and their son Barron, marked the second encounter between Tyson and Trump in recent months, as per reports.
Patrick Bet David brought up Trump’s recent appearance at a UFC event where she showed up with Tyson, Kid Rock, and UFC boss Dana White, saying, “We were at the UFC fight in Miami. And you walked up with Trump. And that place lost their mind when you guys walked up. I don’t know if you…?”
Tyson replied with nothing but positivity regarding Trump: “People don’t like it, but Trump is the man. Trump is the man, he has his fan base, he has his supporters, and they’re gonna stick with him to the end.”
Bet David then asked Tyson, “How has he been to you over the years?” Tyson, remaining similarly positive about Trump, said, “I never had a bad moment with him.”
Tyson made it clear that he had never experienced any negative encounters with Trump. In the late 1980s, when Tyson’s career was beginning to soar, Trump agreed to become his financial advisor, solidifying their relationship.
“I became very profited from him,” Tyson said, adding that he just had dinner with the current GOP presidential frontrunner.
“I just had dinner with him a week ago,” Tyson continued. “Me, him, Barron, and his mother, and it was just off the hook. Barron, he’s so smart… This kid’s on top of his game intellectually.”
He also called Melania an “awesome first lady.”
