Offered a zoo attendant $10,000 to let him fight a gorilla.

Date: 1989

While married to Robin Givens, Tyson bribed a worker to open the zoo so he and his wife could have a romantic stroll amongst the animals. When they approached the gorilla exhibit he offered a zookeeper ten grand to let him into the cage so he could fight a dominant alpha male bullying the rest of the submissive ape band. Thankfully, in keeping with the zookeepers code, the man declined the second bribe and both: saved Tyson's life and prevented future heavyweight hopefuls from having to challenge a gorilla for a shot at the title belt.

Despite his gruff upbringing, Tyson was allegedly not violent until a bully messed with one of his beloved pigeons.
“I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with titanic right hand,” recalled Tyson of the incident that ultimately spawned his livelihood as a boxer. “He was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard. I never hurt anybody until somebody hurt one of my birds.”

Mike Tyson offered zookeeper $10,000 to let him fight a silverback gorilla

Tyson said: “I paid a worker at New York’s zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin.
“When we got to the gorilla cage there was one big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas.
“They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant.
“I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let smash that silverback’s snot box. He declined.”
