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 its like when everybody is out to get you. Hes probably never known that to this extent.
'I think its a pretty awesome thing that hes doing so well. People are combining together to make sure he doesnt win.

but I was always afeared of people. This recent stuff's no surprise and Trump will probably win.
