JAKARTA - Without a doubt, Mike Tyson is one of the most famous and controversial boxers. Apart from his prowess in the ring, he has also received a lot of attention outside of boxing.
However, in 1995 - when the 29-year-old Tyson was crowned the youngest heavyweight champion in history and the undisputed champion - there was a unique story that Fat Joe told.
Hip-hop musician Fat Joe said, shortly after Tyson was released from prison, 'Iron' Mike rescued him at a nightclub.
"One night we were at (nightclub) The Tunnel," the musician said. "I was with (the late) Big Pun. And security told Pun to take off his boots. Security was big, (while Pun) he didn't want to (take off his boots)," said Fat Joe.
"So they started arguing. Then it started changing to two, three, four, five, six (security) and they all started saying 'let's go beat Big Pun and Fat Joe, I don't care'.
"So I told Pun; 'Yo Pun, we're going to lose.' So out of nowhere, we heard this voice: 'Yo Pun, Yo Joe, let's beat these guys. I'm helping you guys.'

"We turned around and it was 'Iron' Mike Tyson. 2:30 in the morning, just out of jail. Everyone was like 'Oh my God, this is 'Iron' Mike!'" said Fat Joe.
The security guards decided to run after they saw Tyson. However, the heavyweight legend did not stand still and chased after them.
"Mike Tyson started chasing guards who wanted to beat us around the car 20 times and they were begging for mercy like 'Yo Fat Joe, Big Pun - please!'"
