Rosie Perez sat down with Mike Tyson on his podcast Hotboxin' with Mike, and recalled what Tyson said to her after his infamous fight with Evander Holyfield. That contest had ended after 'Iron' Mike took a bite out of his opponent's ear.
It was a night that went down in infamy in boxing history, and is still one of the most talked about events in sporting history. Everybody knows about the Bite Fight.
Tyson was disqualified from the match and after the fight, Perez recounted how people reacted to Tyson when he returned to a club in New York. She stated:
"You walked into Cheetah's and everybody was so in awe and terrified of you at the same time. It was like Moses parting the red sea, everybody just moved the f*ck out of your way."
Then she retold what he said to her about what had happened in the fight with Holyfield:
"I was standing toward the back and you went, 'Hey, how you doing?' and I said, 'I'm good. What the f*ck were you thinking?' And you laughed and you hugged me and you said in my ear, 'That motherf***er just got me so f***ing mad!'"
