"Iron" Mike Tyson and Don King reunite!
After decades of running wild, "Iron" Mike Tyson has finally found his way back home.
Not only to the sport of boxing, but back to the stables of the man single-handedly responsible for presenting him for the world to see. None other than Don King.
Decades ago, Mike Tyson became the notable iconic force in the sport by pulverizing every man placed in front of him. His menacing prowess and his explosive nature made for sheer pandemonium, and there was only a precious few around the world who failed to fall victim to his powerful mystique.
With those glory days behind him, Tyson fell out of graces with most, ravished by deep depression and abuse of drugs and alchohol.
There weren't too many obstacles that Tyson couldn't overcome in the ring, and at this point in life, Tyson has found a way to rekindle that same resilience, as evidenced in his latest attempt to bounce back.
Weeks ago we saw him open up for Oprah Winfrey in a very candid interview. After those shocking revelations, he later appeared with her to apologize to Evander Holyfield for his infamous "bite night" episode. To complete the trifecta, his latest move places him in the commentating booth for a boxing card presented by Don King on his new internet based channel, DonKingTV.com.
Of all the things Tyson failed to learn over the years, the one thing few can deny that so cleverly mastered was the art of the game (boxing) itself.
Any one who has ever sat in his presence knows that his encyclopedic mind, enhanced by decades of studying fight footage makes him arguably the most intelligent man behind a microphone anywhere in the sport.
It's something very different for Tyson, but with his wealth of knowledge and his new found maturity in life, one can only hope that this latest move brings him back to TV's all over the globe.....again!
Stay tuned.
