Mike Tyson appears a much more calm and conent figure these days, but he was in no mood for forgiveness when he ran into Don King on stage at an event back in 2018.
The former undisputed heavyweight world champion had long since fallen out with his former romoter with relations between them at a bitter low.
In the 1990s, most major heavyweights in boxing were represented by King.
The eccentric American promoter controlled the division for a period of time with Tyson one of many on his books.
However, ‘Iron Mike’ later discovered issues in his financials and in 1998 sued King for $100million.
Tyson alleged he had been cheated out of millions during the course of their working relationship. They ultimately settled for $14million.
In the years that have followed, Mike has given numerous interviews slamming King.
He previously labelled the 89-year-old ‘ruthless’, ‘deplorable’ and ‘greedy’.
Tyson also told the famous tale of the time he kicked King in the head as they fought during a car journey.
When they were reunited on stage at a boxing Hall of Fame event in 2018, King walked past Tyson.
He appeared to approach his ex-fighter and put his hand on his shoulder as if to greet him.
Tyson reacted angrily and hurled his water at the promoter, who subsequently scurried off stage.
