Mike Tyson was kissing men on the lips during his boxing matches, and the proof is seen in old footage. Mike Tyson is widely regarded as one of the most ferocious and dominant boxers of all time. He became the youngest heavyweight champion in history when he defeated Trevor Berbick in 1986. What you probably didn’t know is that he also had a surprising habit of kissing men on the lips before and after his fights.
The video of his fight against Berbick shows Tyson kissing two different men on the lips at around 30 seconds and 7:30 marks of the video. One of them was his trainer Kevin Rooney, who was a close disciple of Tyson’s mentor Cus D’Amato. Tyson and Rooney had a close bond and often kissed each other on the lips as a sign of affection.
The other man was an unidentified friend or supporter of Tyson, who also received a kiss on the lips from the champion after he knocked out Berbick. It is unclear why Tyson kissed this man or what their relationship was, but it was a rare sight to see such a display of emotion from the most ruthless boxer of that time period.
Tyson never explained why he kissed men on the lips during his boxing career, but it may have been his way of expressing his gratitude, respect, or love for them. In some cultures that is a considered a sign of respect. Whatever the reason, Tyson’s kissing habit was a unique aspect of his legendary career.
