ANGRY Mike Tyson Interview: Have a Nice Fight Mike #miketyson #boxing #funny
Get ready for one of the most unforgettable moments in sports TV history! In this 1999 WWOR-TV interview, boxing legend Mike Tyson unleashes his raw, unfiltered personality on reporter Russ Salzberg ahead of his January 16, 1999, comeback fight against Francois Botha in Las Vegas. Fresh off a 19-month layoff after his infamous losses to Evander Holyfield, Tyson is in no mood for pleasantries, turning a routine promotional interview into a viral sensation.
The tension starts early when Salzberg questions Tyson about his underdog opponent Botha, prompting a fiery response: “Well f*** it, it’s a fight, so whatever happens happens.” Things escalate as Salzberg probes Tyson’s in-ring rage, referencing the 1997 Holyfield ear-biting incident. Tyson, fed up, snaps, “I’m talking to you the way I wanna talk to you. If you have a problem, turn off your station!” Salzberg tries to wrap things up, saying, “We’ll end the discussion right now,” only for Tyson to retort, “Then we could a**hole.” As Salzberg sarcastically wishes, “Have a nice fight, Mike,” Tyson delivers the iconic knockout line: “F*ck off!”
This short but explosive exchange showcases Iron Mike at his most intense, blending humor, aggression, and pure unpredictability. A must-watch for boxing fans and anyone who loves a classic celebrity meltdown! 🥊
