Mike Tyson is never one to hold his tongue and on Wednesday that trend continued as the former boxer revealed that he was sexually abused by a stranger back when he was a child in Brooklyn, New York.

“He snatched me off the street,” the 48-year-old said during a visit to SiriusXM’s Opie Radio show. “I was a little kid…[he was an] old man. [He] bullied me, sexually abused me and stuff. Never seen him again.”

Tyson, who was seven at the time of the abuse, also admitted that he never told a soul about the unfortunate incident, adding “I just went on with my life.”



For some, it’s hard to imagine such a thing to happen to a man who was once one of the most terrifying opponents in the boxing ring. As for whether or not the event changed him, Tyson responded, “I don’t know if it did or not. I don’t always remember, but maybe I do but I don’t. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed by it.”
