Mike Tyson Once Employed President Trump As His 'Spanner Boy'

There is no situation that remains permanent. Not so long ago, before Flyod Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao and others.....there was this one man dubbed as 'the baddest man on the plannet'. Mike 'Iron' Tyson was a world boxing champion, for many years from a young age of 19 Years and he hung up his gloves . He was feared by many and he was ruthless both in and outside of the ring.

Tyson took out each one of his opponent through technical knockouts or just TKO. He created a larger than life aura and straddled the boxing world as its supreme king. He took all the world tittles under his belt from the WBC- World Boxing Council, WBA-World Boxing Association and IBF- International Boxing Federation.He had no challenge and so he reigned and reigned.

With raising stardom, so was his riches. Tyson was immensely rich from the many bouts he won, appearances he made, endorsements and promotions he got from multinationals.

To manage his estate, Mike Tyson hired one of the most ridiculed President in the history of America today, Donald Trump, as his financial advisor. Trump at that time was only known as an estate tycoon.

A report published by the New York Times quoted Donald Trump as saying ' Mike Tyson has asked me and I have agreed, to serve jointly, with regard to future decisions about Mike Tyson's career, including but not limited to the lawsuits going back and forth between Mike and his current manager, Bill Cayton.''

Mike Tyson was the boss of Donald Trump up until around 1992 when the former was put in jail for 6 years on charegs of rape against a beauty pageant contestant.

This story shows how situations and life as journey is not a Sprint, but a marathon, and that life is dynamic and fluid. Anyone can rise from very low to high with determination, focus and hard work.
