Mike Tyson would have sex in his dressing room before fights so he didn’t kill his opponent in the ring. According to the former fighter’s chauffeur, Rudy Gonzalez claimed it was one of his jobs to find women willing to have sex with Tyson on fight nights in an interview with The Sun.
Gonzalez told The Sun: “One of the greatest secrets with Mike was that he needed to have sex in the dressing room before fights. I would have to find a groupie, it did not matter who it was. He’d say ‘if I do not get laid I will kill this guy right now.”
“Mike had to get laid to disengage some of the strength he had. So I had girls tucked away in bathrooms and changing rooms. Sometimes he’d go in with them for a minute, bang the s*** out of them, snap his neck, and say: ‘Okay this guy is going to live tonight’.”
Mike Tyson – The most ferocious fighter to step into a professional ring
Tyson is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. The 55-year-old dominated the heavyweight ring from 1987 to 1990. He was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously win the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles. He also holds the record as the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title. But after his controversial rape conviction in 1992, he was never the same and retired in 2005.
“His biggest fear was that he would kill someone in that ring. He knew he could do it. I still see some of the guys he fought. I was there at ringside seeing these huge men crying, bones shattering or their blood flying everywhere. It is no exaggeration to say Mike was like a train hitting these guys. Having sex was his way of disengaging that power and loosening up a bit.” he added
