Mike Tyson says he avoided AIDS despite having sex with woman who died from disease

Mike Tyson recently revealed in an interview with Interview Magazine that he believes he shouldn’t have been alive long enough to fight Jake Paul, not because of injuries from fights, but because of a harrowing experience with AIDS. Tyson shared that he once had sex with a friend and they both contracted the disease from the same partner, resulting in his friend’s tragic death. Despite engaging in risky behavior, Tyson miraculously did not contract the disease himself.

Reflecting on his past, Tyson expressed disbelief at still being alive and talking about his experiences. He noted that all his friends had passed away, some from overdoses and others from AIDS. Tyson admitted to engaging in risky sexual behavior in his younger years, including sharing a partner with a friend, which led to tragic consequences for his friend.

At 58 years old, Tyson acknowledged his mortality but expressed a lack of concern for his legacy. He brushed off the idea of leaving behind a lasting impact, stating that he will soon be gone and no one will care about his legacy. Tyson’s candid remarks shed light on his perspective on life and death, revealing a deep sense of acceptance and detachment from worldly concerns.

Throughout his career, Tyson was known for his eccentric sex life and was even considered a “sex addict” at one point. His former bodyguard and chauffeur, Rudy Gonzalez, revealed that Tyson’s insatiable sexual appetite often led to him demanding sexual encounters to help him disengage from his strength before fights. Gonzalez recounted instances where he had to find “groupies” for Tyson in bathrooms and changing rooms to satisfy his needs.

In 1992, Tyson was convicted of rape, a charge he vehemently denied. Despite maintaining his innocence, Tyson was required to register as a sex offender for life. In his memoir, “Undisputed Truth,” Tyson detailed his tumultuous journey leading up to his trial, including his interactions with women who expressed support for him in unconventional ways.

Tyson’s life has been marked by controversy, both inside and outside the ring. From his troubled past to his turbulent personal life, Tyson’s story is a complex tapestry of triumphs and tribulations. As he prepares to face off against Jake Paul in a highly anticipated fight, Tyson’s candid reflections offer a glimpse into the man behind the boxing legend, a man who has faced his fair share of challenges and hardships.
