In the Tyson interview that 50 posted about, the boxer is asked about how his being a convicted rapist may impact Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Ford and Tyson met recently and the boxer endorsed the politician.
Mike Tyson was sentenced to a 6-year prison term in 1992 after he was convicted of rape. The former boxer, who served three of those six years, was greeted by more than 2,000 people at a rally upon his release, according to the New York Times.
Tyson spoke on the allegations at the time, saying, “I have not raped anyone, tried to rape anyone by any means,” according to the New York Times.
