    Mike Tyson tried bribing zookeeper $10,000 to fight a gorilla!

    The ex-boxer tried to bribe the zookeeper in New York when visiting the zoo with former wife Robin Givens in the late eighties


    The guy had totally lost it!

    He wanted to pay $10,000 to fight a silverback.

    Man was a total animal.

    Boxing desperately needs another Mike Tyson in the HW division. I understand sportsmanship and respect and all that, but do boxers have to be so nice to each other? Half the time they are talking they are praising their opponent and how 'amazing' they are. A lot of fighters get found out when they face someone who doesn't treat this like a game/sport

      Too bad Mike didn't. Chances are the Gorilla would've literally cracked Tyson's skull in half. This is what happens when you **** pigeons as a teen

        Every time I hear this story, I just think I'm pretty sure the Zookeeper knew this wasn't a serious offer.

        Mike Tyson did not believe he could beat up a silverback gorilla. Even if he was on coke he wouldn't believe that shlt. :-| .

            No way Tyson would’ve beaten a Silver back even a Prime Tyson with Cus D’Amato!

            He’d have to hope and pray the gorilla has a serious freak injury that kept it from moving something like a spinal injury that paralyzes it and then he’d have a chance!

              What if the gorilla had a glass jaw?

                He couldn't even beat Buster Douglas and lost to every good fighter he faced, never mind beat a Gorilla.

                  Why the hell would Tyson want to punch a gorilla in the nose? Gorilla's don't throw punches. They fight like the animals they are and they are much stronger than the strongest man. They bite and have huge sharp teeth. Tyson would have been badly injured or killed if he pissed off a gorilla. The zoo keeper did him a favor by turning down his ****** request.
