As the interview draws to a close, the interaction concludes with a lighthearted moment, as Mike playfully responds, “Oh well, thanks for having me!” 😄😄😄
Taking into account Mike’s history of 38 arrests before the age of 13, it is likely that he engaged in numerous street fights, as he himself claimed.
One notable street altercation during his adult years involved Mitch Green…
Mike’s most renowned street fighting incident was likely his brawl with Mitch Green.
In 1988, there was a scheduled bout between Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno with a prize of $5 million at stake. However, demonstrating that his motivation to fight extended beyond money, Mike confronted Mitch “Blood” Green without any financial incentives at Dapper Dan’s Boutique in Harlem, showcasing his prowess for the sheer love of the sport.
Similar to most of Mike Tyson’s encounters, the recent incident unfolded swiftly, akin to a Western gunslinger. According to reports, a single punch—a right uppercut—landed on former contender Mitch Green’s left eye, causing it to swell and shut alongside a nose requiring five stitches. What made this altercation unique was its occurrence at 4:30 a.m. on a Harlem street—a rather unexpected hour to witness the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world engaged in a scuffle.
Ironically, Mike asserted self-defense, expressing apprehension regarding Green’s erratic behavior fueled by his grievances against Don King, claiming owed money:
“Green struck me in the chest. He was agitated. I suppose I connected with his eye. I felt uneasy. It had been seven years since my last street fight. Fear gripped me.”
The pair had previously faced off within the confines of a boxing ring, where Tyson emerged victorious by decision after 10 rounds in 1986. Green became only the second individual to last the full distance with the formidable “Kid Dynamite.”
Perhaps Green should have taken pride in his accomplishment of going the distance during their professional bout, as his fortunes took a turn for the worse in their subsequent street encounter.
Green filed a lawsuit against Tyson, yet his claim for $25 million yielded a mere $45,000 in compensation.
