When prime Mike Tyson 'angrily confronted' Donald Trump over alleged affair with his wife

Mike Tyson wasn't happy with former US president Donald Trump.

Mike Tyson once confronted Donald Trump during a heated exchange and asked, 'are you f***ing my wife?'

Tim O'Brien, the author of the book TrumpNation, claims the former world heavyweight champion confronted Trump over an affair with his wife at the time, Robin Givens.

Tyson reportedly asked the former US president: "Could I ask you, are you f***ing my wife?"

O'Brien went on to quote Trump as saying after the meeting: "Now, if I froze, I'm dead... you would have zero chance. Here's the heavyweight champion of the world, and he's a solid piece of fu**ing armour."

The billionaire's reply to 'Iron Mike' is not included in the book and it's unknown how true the claims are.

It was Trump who bid a staggering $11 million to host Tyson's fight with Michael Spinks at the Atlantic City Convention Hall, adjacent to his own Trump Plaza in New Jersey.

Tyson was 21-years-old at the time and the fight became famous for his spine-tingling ring walk en route to a first round knockout victory.

Despite the affair incident, their friendship exists to this day. In fact, 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' even backed Trump in his successful 2016 presidential campaign.

Tyson and Trump have a long history together, with their first interaction coming in the late 1980's.

"I got along great with him," Trump said about Tyson in an interview with the UFC last year.

"In fact, I saw him recently, and he could not have been nicer, You know, he was always very nice to me and very good. But I had a lot of fights, and he was a draw... he could draw anything."

Tyson, meanwhile, made a sensational return to boxing in 2020, when he fought fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.

He's since been linked with Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, but it appears another foray in the squared circle seems unlikely.

Though never count out 'Iron' Mike.
