Mike Tyson has recently spoken about finding his ex-wife with a future Hollywood star as their marriage was falling apart.
The man known as the Baddest Man on the Planet, during his devastating boxing career, spoke to Theo Von on his podcast about the crazy encounter.
Iron Mike was asked by the host if anybody had ever stolen his girlfriend, to which he mentioned finding his ex-wife, Robin Givens, with the actor, long before he was a Hollywood regular.
Speaking about the encounter, he said: “That’s an interesting story. He didn’t steal her from me, but me and my wife were going through a divorce.”
Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, married Givens in 1988, but divorced only a year later. Talking about the relationship, the American said the couple were ‘sleeping together by night, while fighting in the papers by day.’
He continued: “… one day, I went over to the house… she wasn’t home. Nobody. Then driving up the road with the BWM that I bought her.”
The 58-year-old then said he spotted somebody in the passenger seat.
“I thought it was one of her friends from ‘Head of the Class’ (a sitcom Givens starred in) but it wasn’t one of her friends. It was Brad Pitt,” Tyson remembered.
“He wasn’t Brad Pitt yet, I didn’t know who the f*** he was… he didn’t even have a car.”
Mike Tyson Named Only Boxer He Ever Truly Hated
Mike Tyson once revealed the only fellow boxer he truly hated during his career.
Speaking about this incident in the past, Tyson said he was ‘mad as hell’ after seeing Pitt with Givens, saying the now legendary actor ‘was like a beach bum’ and ‘a little nerdy.’
In his 2013 autobiography, Undisputed Truth, the youngest heavyweight champion in history said about Pitt: “You had to see the look on his face. He looked like he was ready to receive his last rites.”
Robin Givens, who has spoken of Tyson in the past, calling him physically abusive, confirmed that her husband once saw her ‘pulling up in the driveway’ with Pitt, who made a guest appearance in the sitcom she was starring in.
She reiterated: “We were coming from like a screening or something.”
However, she denied the claims made by her ex-husband that he caught her and the young actor in bed together while they were still married, saying: “That never happened.”
The wording, however, that he never caught the two together ‘while they were married’ does beg the question about whether anything happened after their divorce.

With UFC Freedom 250 now less than three weeks away, company CEO Dana White has revealed the one fight he wanted on the card that “slipped” away.
Preparations are already underway for the landmark event on the south lawn of the White House, which takes place on the 14th of June. The card has been timed to celebrate both the USA’s 250th anniversary and the 80th birthday of President Donald Trump.
The President has been heavily involved in putting the card together for the event, even playing a key role in adding an extra fight to the show. Freedom 250 is set to be one of the most stacked UFC shows in recent memory, with two title fights set to take place.
Ciryl Gane and Alex Pereira will compete for the interim UFC Heavyweight Championship, before Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje meet for the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship.
In addition, high-profile fighters such as Sean O’Malley, Michael Chandler and Derrick Lewis will also step into the Octagon during the most culturally significant card in UFC history.
With a line-up packed with current and former champions, the promotion has delivered a top-tier card for the show, but Dana has admitted he would have loved to have added a third title fight to the bill.
In a recent interview with Time Magazine, White revealed that he had hoped to host a women’s title bout on the card. The fight in question would have seen Mackenzie Dern defending her UFC Women’s Strawweight Championship against Weili Zhang.
The bout would have seen Zhang handed the chance to regain the belt that she vacated when she moved up to flyweight to challenge titleholder Valentina Shevchenko.
However, the UFC were unsuccessful in booking Dern vs Zhang as the Chinese fighter wanted to take more time off before resuming her UFC career. Her last bout took place when she lost to Shevchenko at UFC 322 in November 2025.
“We did try to make a women’s fight. We couldn’t get it done,” declared White of the bout. As a result, there will be no female fighters on next month’s show.
Due to the work involved in clearing fighters and the cornermen to access the grounds of the White House, Freedom 250 will feature just seven fights in total. It is not uncommon for UFC events to feature almost twice that number of bouts.
Despite having to compromise when it comes to the number of fights on the card and dealing with other logistical issues, White is fiercely proud of the show he plans to put on next month. He even admits that he will lose a significant amount of money in the process.
“This is basically me spending a s***load of money to celebrate the 250th birthday of America, with America and the rest of the world,” he conceded.
Newcastle United endured a season to forget as they finished in the bottom half of the Premier League with no European football on offer next campaign.
After a memorable 2024-25 campaign that saw the club lift the Carabao Cup and qualify for the Champions League, the last 10 months have been rife with inconsistency and lacklustre displays.
For a second summer in a row, Newcastle face a tough battle to keep hold of their top players. Sandro Tonali has been linked with Premier League rivals Manchester United and Anthony Gordon is attracting strong interest from across Europe.
Bayern Munich are keen on the player while Liverpool are not out of the race to sign the boyhood Reds fan.The Magpies value Gordon at £75m and are reluctant to sell him unless that valuation is met.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano expects Gordon to leave St James’ Park this summer. While there is interest from Bayern and Liverpool, Barcelona are ‘big, big fans of the player’.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “I expect him to leave Newcastle, I expect movements around Anthony Gordon.
“Barcelona, I have to tell you this, Barcelona are really big, big, big fans of Anthony Gordon.”
Gordon clearly has no shortage of suitors with Romano also revealing that several Premier League clubs have made calls to understand the situation on the player’s future.
The England international joined Newcastle in January 2023 in a deal worth up to £45m. He became the Magpies’ all-time top-scorer in the Champions League this season and netted a total of 17 times in 46 games this term.
In a fresh update, Romano posted on X that Gordon has now agreed personal terms to join Barcelona. He said: “Total agreement reached between Anthony Gordon and Barcelona on personal terms
“Barcelona are in direct, official talks with Newcastle to close the deal club-to-club. Barça want to get the deal done quickly to anticipate PL clubs and Bayern, still active behind scenes.”
While Gordon seemingly has his pick of clubs, Newcastle are likely to prioritise the biggest offer over the player’s preference.
At Bayern, he would be competing with Michael Olise for a spot on the right wing while at Barca he would need to unseat Lamine Yamal if he wanted to play in his natural position.
At Liverpool, an avenue to first-team football is much more open. Mohamed Salah has left the Merseyside club after nine years at Anfield and the right wing position is up for grabs.
Jeremie Frimpong has been used in an attacking role in the last few months but he is a right-back by trade. Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa’s game-time has continued to be heavily limited under Arne Slot.
Gordon also knows Liverpool striker Alexander Isak well, with the pair playing 84 times together at Newcastle before the Sweden international joined the Reds.
However, with the player agreeing personal terms to join Barca, he is backing himself to make an impact in Spain as the clubs continue talks over a deal.
