I wasn’t able to catch Mike Tyson’s emotional sit down with Oprah when it aired earlier today but thanks to the magic of the internet and the hard work from the Rap Radar team [rip game proper] I won’t have to miss a beat. I’m a little hesitant to watch the interview because, well, I know I will end up revealing my inner raw creole emotion. Today’s a fucking holiday, I can’t be bothered.

The interview was ostensibly a commercial for James Toback’s “Tyson” documentary, but there were some interesting moments—like when he told the story of his first fight, against a bully who killed one of his pet pigeons. (For real.) He choked up when talking about Cus D’Amato. He talked about not really regretting chewing Holyfield’s ear off, and how his incredible rage made him such a great fighter….and a pretty lousy person.

In this clip, Tyson talks about the infamous Barbara Walters interview where Givens flat out called him an abusive husband while he sat there quietly saying nothing. You can imagine how that went over later that night. Mike claims she was just as abusive to him as he was to her—which is probably true—but her fists aren’t lethal weapons. [source]
