Mike Tyson once wore a signed Diego Maradona jersey to taunt Brazilians during a court appearance.
The heavyweight legend was accused of assaulting cameraman Carlos Eduardo da Silva in a Sao Paulo nightclub in 2005.
As a result, Tyson appeared in a Brazilian court wearing the shirt of their fierce football rivals Argentina, with the great Maradona’s name on his back.
Tyson had met the former Barcelona star on a TV appearance in 2005, potentially where he got the signed jersey he wore to court.
Local reports even claimed Iron Mike, the youngest heavyweight champion ever at 20, made “obscene gestures in front of television cameras.”
Tyson was told to return to court on March 7, but there is no suggestion the case was taken any further.
The alleged incident came only five months after his retirement fight against Danny McBride, which ended after six miserable rounds.
Since then, Tyson has turned his life around after overcoming a battle with substance abuse and depression.
