Ultra-Trump fan Mike Tyson has joined a growing list of retired sports stars to gush over how President Donald Trump is a great hang.
The 59-year-old legendary boxer appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Waters Primetime to sing Trump’s praises.
“He looked beautiful, happy, enjoying the people… I can’t even explain his mood! We’ve never seen any president like this before,” Tyson said.
“My whole experience with President Trump is that he’s just a genuine, real person. If he got your back, he’s with you 100%,” he said later. “That’s why I’m with him 100%. He’s never been nothin’ but for me.”
Tyson has become a vocal supporter for Trump and his administration during the 79-year-old Trump’s second term. During the Super Bowl, he appeared in a commercial paid for by the MAHA Center, an advocacy group aligned with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Shortly after, he appeared alongside Kennedy Jr. at a press conference to stand against obesity.
Tyson’s point that Trump has always been “100% behind” him rings true.

He also blamed the victim of Tyson’s crime, saying, “You have a young woman that was in his room, his hotel room late in the evening at her own will. You have a young woman who was seen dancing for the beauty contest [the next day], dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as could be.”
Trump helped promote Tyson’s career in the 1980s by having him fight in his Atlantic City casinos. Tyson’s victory in those fights helped rake in millions for Trump. Tyson ended up endorsing Trump in the 2016 election and has remained one of his most ardent supporters ever since, going so far as to purchase Trump meme coin cryptocurrency at a Mar-a-Lago event in late April.
