Mike Tyson Credits Vince McMahon For Taking A Chance On Him

Mike Tyson spoke with ESPN.com today about his WWE Hall of Fame induction this weekend. He talked about being grateful to Vince McMahon for taking a chance on him after his ear-biting incident with Evander Holyfield.

Tyson also said the following about his Hall of Fame speech.

“When I give my speech, you won’t have to worry about me breaking down and crying at that one like I did at the boxing Hall of Fame. You’ll hear every sentence loud and crackling and clear. This one goes straight to me ego. It’s like, ‘I’m so cool.’ This is going to be fun. I’m just very ecstatic about it. It’s a very big honor to me,” Tyson said.
