Former Boxing Champ Mike Tyson Dishes Details After Private Dinner With Trump

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson recently shared intriguing information about a private dinner he had at Mar-a-Lago with former President Donald Trump and his family.

This dinner marked the second meeting between Tyson and the Trumps in recent months, with former First Lady Melania Trump and their son Barron also in attendance.

During an interview with podcaster Patrick Bet David, the host mentioned Trump’s recent attendance at a UFC event where he was accompanied by Tyson, Kid Rock, and UFC boss Dana White.

“We were at the UFC fight in Miami. And you walked up with Trump. And that place lost their mind when you guys walked up. I don’t know if you…?”

Tyson went on to give Trump a glowing endorsement, adding: “People don’t like it, but Trump is the man. Trump is the man, he has his fan base, he has his supporters, and they’re gonna stick with him to the end.”

Bet David then asked Tyson, “How has he been to you over the years?” Tyson, remaining similarly positive about Trump, said, “I never had a bad moment with him.”

When asked, Tyson explained that he had never experienced any negative moments with Trump. In fact, in the late 1980s when Tyson’s career was beginning to soar, Trump agreed to become the future heavyweight champion’s financial advisor.

“I became very profited from him,” Tyson said, adding that he just had dinner with the current GOP presidential frontrunner.

“I just had dinner with him a week ago,” Tyson continued. “Me, him, Barron, and his mother, and it was just off the hook. Barron, he’s so smart… This kid’s on top of his game intellectually.”

He also called Melania an “awesome first lady.”

“Iron Mike” hasn’t hung up his gloves just yet; he has a match coming up this summer against Jake Paul.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Tyson defended Trump against accusations of Islamophobia when he proposed temporarily shutting down the arrival process from all Middle Eastern nations, which is a policy that actually mimicked one implemented by then-President Barack Obama.

“Anybody that was ever president of the United States offended some group of people or some groups of people were offended,” the fighter told TMZ. “Ask his fans if he needs to apologize. He’s still ahead in the polls and he deserves a chance. If they don’t like him, they shouldn’t vote for him. Let’s go to the polls and see who wins.”

Trump, over the years since leaving office, has frequented UFC fighting events, including one in November when he showed up with White, Kid Rock, and former Fox News star Tucker Carlson to raucous approval from the crowd.

On his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan discussed the topic the following week.

“When he walked out of Madison Square Garden, it was f-cking bananas. The whole place was cheering. He walks out to Kid Rock’s ‘American Badass’ with Kid Rock and Tucker Carlson walking in like the ‘Right Wing Avengers,’” the host, who also appears frequently at UFC events as a broadcaster, said. “And the place went nuts. I’m telling you, the f-cking cheers of the crowd were nuts.”

“It was overwhelming in support of him, and it lasted a long time,” he said. “I mean, you had to hear what the crowd sounded like before he walked in and then when he did. I mean it was just overwhelming cheers for like over a minute. I mean, just imagine a minute of people screaming at the top of their lungs.”

According to The Epoch Times, a prominent Republican donor who had previously supported Ron DeSantis has shifted his financial backing to Trump after DeSantis dropped out of the Republican primaries.

In February, MAGA Inc. received substantial contributions, with the largest coming from Robert Bigelow, a key donor to DeSantis’s campaign. FEC records show that on February 9th, Bigelow made a $5 million donation to MAGA Inc., as reported by the outlet.
