Incredible Act on Drake’s Part: He Bought Mike Tyson a Rolls-Royce Cullinan as a Thank You for Playing the Part of His Bodyguard and Co-Star in His Upcoming Music Video

When it comes to the world of celebrities, the unexpected can frequently turn into the topic of conversation. A recent revelation made by none other than the well-known rapper Drake has undoubtedly caused tongues to wag in response to the news. Fans and members of the media were taken aback when they discovered that the Grammy-winning rapper and actor had gifted his Rolls-Royce Cullinan to none other than the illustrious former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. This astonishing action was made by Tyson as part of his new duty as Drake’s personal bodyguard and as a co-star in the upcoming music video for the musician.

The intersection of entertainment and luxury took an astonishing turn when Drake, whose net worth is estimated at over $180 million, decided to make a grand gesture to welcome Mike Tyson into his inner circle. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, valued at approximately $325,000, is often considered the pinnacle of automotive luxury. It’s known for its opulent features and exceptional craftsmanship, making it a symbol of prestige and affluence.

But what drove Drake to gift such an extravagant car to Mike Tyson? The story behind the gift is both heartwarming and strategic. Drake and Tyson have known each other for years, but their relationship deepened as they collaborated on the music video for Drake’s latest single, set to be released later this year. Tyson’s imposing presence and charisma caught Drake’s attention, leading him to consider the boxing legend for a pivotal role in the video.

The decision to hire Mike Tyson as a bodyguard wasn’t just about security; it was also a strategic move to add a unique twist to the music video. By recruiting Tyson, Drake not only bolstered the security of the project but also added a charismatic and unexpected element to the storyline.

The fact that Drake decided to present Mike Tyson with a Rolls-Royce Cullinan as a token of his appreciation for Tyson’s participation in the project and the growth of their friendship is evidence of both of these things. Even though Drake is in a position to be able to buy such an extravagant present, he chose to make the gesture as a sign of his gratitude to Tyson for the contribution he has made and the growing friendship between the two of them.

This story has received a great amount of attention within the entertainment business as well as on social media. This serves as an illustration of how celebrities frequently engage in costly acts in order to garner attention and interest in their various endeavors. The public’s preexisting obsession with Drake’s generosity and the one-of-a-kind nature of this cooperation is already generating interest for the next music video.

The world was surely taken aback and enthralled by Drake’s amazing gift of a Rolls-Royce Cullinan to Mike Tyson, which was given in a world where the acts and interactions of celebrities are frequently reported in the news. It is a story about friendship, strategic teamwork, and a luxurious automobile, and all of these elements have been woven into a narrative that promises to send the entertainment industry abuzz in anticipation of Drake’s upcoming music video.

Anthony Joshua ranked heavyweight boxing stars from past and present, but there was no space for Tyson Fury amongst the top tier of previous champions.

The 34-year-old is attempting to put himself in the frame for another world title shot when he fights Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on Friday, March 8 and has been nominating his pick of the best boxers in the history of the division.

Joshua is a former two-time world champion himself and wants to become a three-time record belt holder by facing the eventual winner of Tyson Fury’s clash against Oleksandr Usyk.

Ahead of his showdown with former UFC star Ngannou, Joshua was presented with a list of heavyweights and asked to place them into five separate groups ranging from GOAT [greatest of all time] to sparring partner.

The Englishman placed a total of seven fighters in the GOAT category while others mixed in the champion, world level and mid level rankings.

There was no space for reigning heavyweight champion Tyson Fury in Joshua’s top tier rankings

An honest and modest Joshua started by immediately thrusting former heavyweight superstar Muhammad Ali into the top tier who was later joined by Derek Chisora, Evander Holyfield, Wladimir Klitschko, Joe Lewis, Mike Tyson and Rocky Marciano.

Joshua previously beat former Ukrainian champion Klitschko to claim his first WBA title at the age of 27 in front of 90,000 spectators at Wembley in 2017.

A matchup against Fury has been touted ever since and looked to be close to coming to fruition before he was surprisingly beaten in two separate bouts by Usyk.

Joshua and Fury would be one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing, but there was only space for the Gypsy King and Usyk amongst the champion rankings.

Mike Tyson was one heavyweight icon to be crowned the ‘GOAT’ title

Deontay Wilder, Frank Bruno and Joseph Parker also made it into the grouping with Joshua placing himself in the group of superstar boxers as well alongside his peers.

Meanwhile, upcoming opponent Ngannou who floored Tyson Fury in his first professional boxing bout last year was added into the third ‘world level’ tier by Joshua.

The Cameroonian has displayed his outrageous power in the build-up to Friday’s fight, but remains the underdog for the big-money clash in Riyad.

David Haye, Dillian Whyte and Daniel Dubois were also place in the same group.

A host of other heavyweight contenders including one of Joshua’s most recent opponent Robert Helenius and fellow Brit Joe Joyce were put into the mid level tier.

Lennox Lewis has discussed having to spar with a young Mike Tyson as the pair were far too strong for their own age groups.

Lewis and Tyson would eventually fight in 2002 in the twilight of their careers – but they already had history.

Speaking to Joe Rogan on the ‘Joe Rogan Experience’, former world champion Lewis said:

“I remember going to the Catskills. I won the World Junior Championships in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and I remember the American team were like, ‘Oh you never fought the best.’

“They told me it was Mike Tyson and Cus D’Amato. So me and my trainer left Canada and we drove all the way up there [to Catskill.]

“While we were up there, [Donovan] Razor Ruddock was up there. They said, ‘Razor Ruddock didn’t spar with us’. So I said, ‘Okay, I’ll spar with you, I’m here for four days’.”

Lewis explained that a young Tyson would show respect to Lewis and even gave the Brit a glimpse of his incredible boxing knowledge.

“The first time Tyson actually met me he was a really nice guy, he took me to his room and showed me some old flicks that I have never seen before of old time fighters.

“He would tell me about each fighter, he studied them. This was where he get his style of fighting from.”

But Lewis admitted all that changed when he stepped into the ring with a 17-year-old ‘Iron Mike’.

“First day in the gym and when the bell went he came across and he was trying to kill me.

“I tried the Muhammad Ali thing obviously and stayed away from his power but the first day was really hectic, the second day was hectic but actually on the last day I got the better of him.

“I remember Cus D’Amato saying, ‘Mike! You’re gonna meet him some day, don’t you do that!’

“And that always echoed on my mind, ‘Will we ever fight?’. Because Cus D’Amato said we were going to fight, and it did happen.”

Lewis would eventually end up defeating Tyson via an eight-round knockout when they faced off at the Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee.

Tyson faces Roy Jones Jr in his return to action, for the first time in 15 years, on Saturday night.

Mike Tyson insisted that he would adopt an “aggressive” and “elusive” boxing style to overcome WBC champ Tyson Fury in a dream super-fight.

Fury maintained his undefeated record last Saturday with a vicious 11th-round knockout win over fierce rival Deontay Wilder at the T-Mobile Arena.

The 33-year-old Brit superstar was knocked down twice by Wilder in the fourth, but climbed off the canvas to successfully defend the WBC title in Las Vegas.

Boxing legend Tyson, 55, praised both Fury and Wilder for delivering on the “action and excitement” in their epic heavyweight trilogy fight.

Tyson methodically broke down his tactics for a hypothetical showdown with Fury and stressed the importance to be “close” to him and not “stay at a distance.”

Speaking to Ring Magazine in 2020, Iron Mike said: “Against someone of Tyson Fury’s size, you’ve got to be aggressive, move your head and be elusive because if you stand still against a man that size, you’re an easy target.

“You need to attack, use angles and stay away from his punching distance. You need to be close, but you can’t stay at a distance that allows the bigger fighter to get off.”

He added: “Size and style isn’t the most important thing in the ring; it’s the morale of a fighter that leads to victory.

“His determination, his will to win, his desire is what makes him a champion.

“But at my best, I thought I was the greatest fighter from Achilles, through the Art of War, since the beginning of God, since the beginning of time — I was invincible.”

Fury landed back in the UK with his entourage on Wednesday and is expected to take a break before returning to the squared circle for his next fight.

The Gypsy King’s father, John Fury, wants his son to challenge unified champ Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed crown.

But Usyk will first need to face Anthony Joshua, who he defeated in September, for a second time after the two-time former unified champ invoked his rematch clause.

Fury’s path to a unification clash with the winner of Usyk vs AJ will likely require him to face a WBC mandatory challenger.

It is anticipated that the WBC will force the Briton to defend his title against the winner of Dillian Whyte vs Otto Wallin, which will take place on 30th October.

In a heartwarming display of familial pride, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson recently shared a priceless gift from his son, Amir Tyson—the inaugural UFC championship belt. The iconic fighter took to social media to express his joy and admiration for his son’s achievement, a moment that encapsulated both paternal pride and a celebration of athletic success.

The sentimental gesture was accompanied by Tyson’s beaming smile as he held the championship belt, a tangible symbol of Amir’s dedication and accomplishments in the world of mixed martial arts. In an emotional caption, Mike Tyson conveyed his overwhelming sense of pride, stating, “Dad is very proud of you.” The message not only highlighted the father-son bond but also underscored the significance of familial support in the pursuit of individual goals.

The Tyson family has long been associated with the world of combat sports, with Mike Tyson himself being a legendary figure in boxing history. The transfer of the UFC championship belt from son to father symbolizes a passing of the torch, a recognition of the younger Tyson’s prowess in a different realm of combat sports.

Amir Tyson’s achievement in securing the UFC championship is not only a personal triumph but also a testament to the Tyson legacy, showcasing the family’s continued influence and success in various forms of combat sports. The image of Mike Tyson proudly displaying the championship belt serves as a powerful visual representation of the intergenerational impact within the Tyson family.

As the story unfolds, fans and followers eagerly await further details about Amir Tyson’s journey to the UFC championship and the significance of this achievement in the context of the Tyson family legacy. The heartening display of paternal pride from Mike Tyson not only humanizes the iconic fighter but also resonates with a universal audience, emphasizing the importance of familial support in the pursuit of dreams and aspirations.

In conclusion, the exchange of the UFC championship belt between Mike Tyson and his son, Amir Tyson, is a touching and symbolic moment that transcends the realm of sports. It serves as a reminder of the enduring bonds within the Tyson family and the collective pride they share in each other’s accomplishments.

ANTHONY JOSHUA has admitted former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson would have destroyed him in a fight.

The Brit star, 27, claimed the American heavyweight would have been far too good for him had they been active at the same time.

Tyson was  the unified, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and to this day is regarding as one of the all-time greats.

On “Iron Mike”, Joshua said: “Mike Tyson would have battered me.

“There was no way I could have taken on that guy. I would have taken that pay cheque.

“You know what I done against Klitschko in that sixth round when I took that dive? I’m joking.

“I would have taken a dive against Tyson. He was a beast.

“I give all credit and respect to Tyson. Even though Tyson is going on like 50 now, I still remember Tyson as the young, young 21-year-old.

“He was that good and made such an impact in the sport of boxing.”

Joshua is just kicking off his career as a champion after his thrilling win over Wladimir Klitschko in April to add the WBA belt to his IBF title.

The Briton has been dubbed the man to dominate the division, but is clearly unsure of how he would have fared alongside Tyson.

Joshua is currently lining up his next fight, with Ukrainian ace Klitschko weighing up his options.

Should the pair go through with a rematch, the 20,000-capacity T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas is being eyed up, with November 11 the expected date.

If, however, Klitschko opts against the fight, Deontay Wilder could be a potential opponent for Joshua.

BOXING promoter Frank Warren has revealed he does not rank Mike Tyson in his top 10 heavyweights of all time.

Iron Mike, 54, is making a sensational return to the sport he ruled with fear in the late 1980s and 90s when he fights Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition fight on November 28.

Tyson won 50 of his 56 fights, bagging 44 KOs along the way.

But for Hall of Fame promoter Warren, the Baddest Man On The Planet’s indiscretions OUTSIDE the ring means he doesnt make his top 10.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Warren, 68, said: “Mike Tyson, when he was young and first got into boxing, he was exciting.

“A bit like Daniel Dubois in some ways, he sort of captured the public’s imagination in devastating style.

“He won a world title and everybody was talking about him. For me, he was one of the most exciting young heavyweights.

“However, he doesn’t get in my top ten because he just did not last the course.

“He was sodding around, drugging it and boozing, went to prison. He just didn’t do it for me.”

The Brooklyn brawler became the youngest ever heavyweight champ when he KO’d Trevor Berbick in 1986.

But Warren believes there would be a clutch of fighters who would have been able to deal with Tyson’s raw aggression.

He added: “I don’t think he would’ve beaten Sonny Liston, I don’t think he’d have beaten [prime] Larry Holmes, I don’t think he’d have beaten [Muhammad] Ali.

“I don’t think he’d have beaten Joe Frazier and I certainly don’t think he’d have beaten George Foreman.”

Warren has had somewhat of a chequered relationship with Tyson over the years.

The Islington-born promoter revealed how a £2million jewellery bill led to Mike Tyson PUNCHING him in 2000.

The promoter encountered ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ at the height of his infamy, with an unpaid jewellery bill coming back to haunt the fighter.

And Warren has opened up on the ‘pandemonium’ that the ‘petulant’ Tyson caused when flooring him inside a Park Lane hotel over the incident.

Mike Tyson has explained that the passing of his мother led hiм to Ƅe the мan he is today.

‘Iron Mike’ is one of the greatest heaʋyweight Ƅoxers to eʋer grace the ring. At just 20 years old, he мade history Ƅy capturing heaʋyweight gold against Treʋor BerƄick. For Tyson, it was a crowning мoмent that noƄody saw coмing, haʋing just started his professional career less than two years prior.

Howeʋer, one has to wonder if he would’ʋe had мuch success in the ring without his upbringing. Anyone who knows Tyson’s stories aƄout his youth knows that his life was filled with ʋiolence and instaƄility. Raised in Brownsʋille, Brooklyn, his father walked out on hiм when he was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧.

As a result, Lorna Tyson was left to raise Mike Tyson and three other 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren. In 1982, she was tragically diagnosed with late-stage cancer, passing away that year. In an interʋiew with CluƄShayShay, the Ƅoxer explained how his мother’s passing was a good thing for hiм.

In a 2020 interʋiew, Tyson stated:

“You know, one of the Ƅest things that eʋer happened to мe is that мy мother died. Because мy мother would haʋe ‘ƄaƄied’ мe. There’s no way I would eʋer got into a street fight. No way I would eʋer learn to stand up for мyself.”

Mike Tyson opens up on relationship with his мother

While Mike Tyson Ƅelieʋes his мother’s passing could’ʋe Ƅeen a good thing professionally, it was crushing personally.

‘Iron Mike’ Ƅecaмe heaʋyweight chaмpion just four years after the passing of his мother. After Lorna’s passing, Tyson was eʋentually adopted Ƅy legendary trainer Cus D’Aмoto. Oʋer the following years, the trainer мolded hiм into an all-tiмe great.

Howeʋer, in a 2010 interʋiew with <eм>BleacherReport</eм>, Mike Tyson discussed his upbringing in depth. There, the Ƅoxer stated that he honestly didn’t really get to know his мother and that it was extreмely crushed.

Furtherмore, he didn’t feel like his мother really knew hiм мuch either. Well, she knew that Tyson was always causing trouƄle, Ƅut that was it. In the interʋiew, he stated:

<eм>“I neʋer saw мy мother happy with мe and proud of мe for doing soмething. She only knew мe as Ƅeing a wild kid running the streets, coмing hoмe with new clothes that she knew I didn’t pay for. I neʋer got a chance to talk to her or know aƄout her. Professionally, it has no effect, Ƅut it’s crushing eмotionally and personally.”</eм>

MIKE TYSON claims he is no longer the monster he was after after smoking toad venom.

The 52-year-old former heavyweight king is building a cannabis resort and is a huge advocate for the medicinal benefits of the drug.

But it was DMT, found in the Sonoran Desert toad of northern Mexico, that blew his mind at the start of 2019 and buried the human wrecking ball that helped build his fame and fortune.

In an emotionally charged and tearful interview, available in the UK on ESPN Player, Iron Mike said: “I don’t want to be that monster when I die, I don’t want to be remembered as that guy. He is very toxic and dangerous for my family and my wife. He doesn’t care about them but they are all I care about.

“But I know what it took to make that guy and the experiences we went through to make him so I know he will not disappear overnight.

“I really don’t have much regret. My violence, my drug habits, my reckless sexual escapades, my street fights and car accidents, all that time is over and I am still here so now it is about making a better life for my family. I am grateful for existing and having another life.”

DMT is an extremely potent but natural psychedelic that mysterious shamen have smoked for decades and newage hippies now flock to the desert for in search of enlightenment.

And Tyson, at his most wild jailed for rape and guilty of biting a chunk out of Evander Holyfield’s ear, says his life was changed forever by the experience.

‘EVERYTHING WENT BOOM’

He said: “Once I smoked it, everything went boom! When I came down my brain was functioning and I could talk but I was saying ‘I f***ed up’.

“I killed myself because I killed my ego and my life totally changed.

“It sounds like a movie script but it’s the real deal and now I wake up smiling and laughing and I wonder ‘what the f*** happened?’

“It lasts forever but it only took 15 minutes. As soon as I realised I was nothing, all my fancy stuff didn’t matter.

“When you think you know everything and then you realise you don’t know anything, then it is a big awakening. You can call it growth or divine intervention.

“I won’t say it is God but it was the death of my ego, I felt so naked and afraid because all I ever had was my ego and that made me a very special and famous person.”

Tyson’s terrifying power, trademark peek-a-boo style and freakish intensity were the perfect blend concocted by trainer Cus D’Amato.

The legendary cornerman plucked the once-bullied street kid from a New York reform school and gradually transformed him into heavyweight boxing’s youngest ever world champion.

Years of training and hours of studying between mentor and pupil created arguably boxing’s most terrifying fighter.

But Tyson, choking back tears, remembers a throwaway comment while taking out the garbage that changed the course of history.

He said: “There is nobody I loved more than Cus.

“Cus believed in me and everyone thought he was a whacko, they all said I was too small and everyone was going to beat me.

“One day I was taking the garbage out and he said: ‘Man, I just wish you were bigger’.

“I took him back to the house and said: ‘Cus, I promise, I am going to make the whole world afraid of me, just watch and see’.

“He broke my heart when he said that to me.”

Lennox Lewis claimed in January 2018 that Deontay Wilder wouldn’t have been able to beat the often talked about ‘Prime Mike Tyson,’ and that’s before the Bronze Bomber lost a fight.

The former heavyweight took to Twitter over two years ago, after the American claimed that he could have beaten Tyson back in the late 80s when he was known as ‘Iron Mike.’

The Brit did go on to praise the ‘Bronze Bomber’ for his confidence in his abilities inside the squared circle.

There is no doubt that Wilder is a big believer in his own abilities so his claims about knocking out ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ aren’t out of character.

When TMZ specifically asked Wilder in 2018 if he would stand a chance against Tyson, he unequivocally responded: “Yes.”

But the ‘Bronze Bomber’ went on to proclaim that he fears no heavyweight, past or present, by adding that whether they’re “old school [or] new school, I knock them all out.”

Of course hindsight really does favour Lewis, who claimed he fought Tyson in said ‘prime,’ with Wilder having lost to Tyson Fury at the beginning of this year.

In the build up to the fight the Gypsy King said he was going to stop the 2008 Olympic bronze medalist before the fight went the distance, with Wilder saying in retaliation that Fury had ‘pillow hands.’

That certainly didn’t prove to be the case as the then challenger dropped the champion twice before the fight was stopped in the seventh round.

Since then 54-year-old Tyson is preparing to come out of retirement and created a huge amount of buzz about it.
