Mike Tyson: "I think it’s a pretty awesome thing that (Trump)’s doing so well"



Trump bid a record $11million to have Tyson's fight against Michael Spinks in 1988 held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall near his hotel. Tyson famously knocked Spinks out in 91 seconds, winning about $20million.

But Tyson experienced an onslaught of criticism and media scrutiny when he went through a divorce, parted ways with his manager and trainer, bit another boxer's ear, and was convicted of raping an 18-year-old girl.

He told the Post he understood what Trump was going through. He said: 'Now he knows what it’s like when everybody is out to get you. He’s probably never known that to this extent.

'I think it’s a pretty awesome thing that he’s doing so well. People are combining together to make sure he doesn’t win.
