The legendary boxer was in the midst of divorcing actress Robin Givens

The meeting between Mike Tyson and Brad Pitt is the stuff of legend, a collision of worlds few would have expected. In 1989, Tyson was in the midst of divorcing actress Robin Givens. Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, Tyson continued to visit Givens for moments of intimacy.

However, one fateful afternoon, Tyson returned from a meeting with his lawyer to find Givens’ car missing. To his surprise, she returned in the company of none other than Brad Pitt.

The Hollywood actor found himself entangled in an alleged affair with Tyson’s then-wife, adding a dramatic twist to the already tumultuous life of the feared boxer.

Tyson recounted that when Pitt noticed his presence, he pleaded with Tyson not to retaliate, claiming they were simply rehearsing a script.

“You had to see the look on his face,” Tyson said.

“He looked like he was ready to receive his last rites. He also looked stoned out of his gourd.

“I was going to…you should have seen his face when he saw me. I was due a divorce but every day I would go to her house to have s e.x with her.

“This particular day, someone beat me to the punch. I guess Brad Pitt got there earlier than I did.”

Interestingly, only a few months later, Tyson suffered a stunning defeat at the hands of Buster Douglas in one of boxing’s most memorable upsets. The legendary boxer has admitted to feeling depressed and lacking motivation leading up to the fight.
