Mike Tyson: Fighting Women, Voting Republican

By oddJoe ⋅ October 17, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Mike Tyson is nuts At a press conference yesterday to announce the beginning of his “World Tour,” former champion boxer and current batshit crazy person Mike Tyson said he’d like to schedule bouts against women. According to the AP report:

When asked if he was joking about fighting women, Tyson said, “I’m very serious . . . It’s all fun.”

Convicted rapist relishing the thought of fighting women? Yeah, I suppose that sounds pretty fun. About as fun as Nikolai �The Beast From The East� Valuev fighting senior citizens in a series of pay-per-view bouts.

The pee-your-pants funny part of the story, though, is the fact that Tyson is using the attention from his “World Tour” to stump for Republican candidate Michael Steele, who’s running for the Senate in Maryland. I’m sure that any political candidate would welcome an endorsement from a man who once vowed to eat another man’s children. Leave No Child Behind, indeed.
