In 1991, Mike Tyson Taught Two Thieves a Lesson They’ll Never Forget

In 1991, Mike Tyson was walking down a street in New York when he saw an old homeless man sitting on the sidewalk, shivering in the cold. Without thinking twice, Tyson reached into his pocket and handed the man some money. The old man’s eyes filled with tears, thankful for the kindness.

Just as Tyson turned to leave, two guys nearby saw what happened and ran over. They tried to snatch the money from the old man’s hands.

Tyson spun around fast—BOOM! BOOM!—two of his famous punches landed hard. The thieves didn’t wait for a third hit. They turned and ran for their lives.

Tyson picked up the money, gave it back to the old man, and said in a firm but kind voice, “Nobody’s taking what’s yours today.”

Even outside the boxing ring, Iron Mike was still undefeated.
