Mike Tyson may have mellowed a bit in his post-boxing life from his love of caring for pigeons to his new found vegetarianism. However, he can still be one scary son of a bitch when he feels like he’s being backed into a corner as evidenced by a recent interview he did for a Canadian news station.
Toronto’s mayor and favorite drug addict Rob Ford is up for re-election and he decided that a little celebrity endorsement might help his chances at the polls. So he arranged a photo-op and some interviews with Tyson who called Ford “the best mayor in Toronto’s history.” Tyson was also in town to perform his one-man show “The Undisputed Truth,” and he appeared on a local news show to help promote it. Things were cordial and friendly until the host dared to ask what he thought of claims from Ford’s critics that getting an endorsement from “a convicted rapist” was a bad image for Ford’s campaign.
He didn’t have a physical flip-out but it did get a little intimidating when Tyson claimed that everyone was just trying to be negative over a simple meeting and he proceeded to call the host “a piece of s$*%” followed by a good, ol’ fashioned “F you” live on the air only he didn’t say “F.” Things calmed down a bit and Tyson went back to talking about his show. Someone recorded the moment on their television and posted it to YouTube so the rest of the world could enjoy it…

We have to give the show’s host some props. It takes a big set of balls to ask the kind of question he did to someone who could probably still bite off a part of your body if he really wanted to do so.
