In today's Freaky Friday episode as Mike Tyson prepares to return to the ring to fight YouTuber Jake Paul, we're revealing the dark truth behind his abuse of Robin Givens and Desiree Washington. The women who suffered at the hands of the same man whose knockout punches weren't limited to the boxing ring.
In 1987, Mike Tyson, the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in history, met actress Robin Givens, and their whirlwind romance quickly spiralled into a nightmare. According to Mike himself, the "best punch" he ever threw in his entire life was aimed at Robin, leaving her unconscious.
In 1988, Robin bravely spoke out about Mike's uncontrollable temper and abuse during a now-infamous interview with Barbara Walters. But instead of receiving support, she was crucified by the public for humiliating him and became one of the most hated women in America.
