Talking about Iron Mike, many sources say that Tyson converted to Islam while he was in jail after a rape conviction in 1992. But the boxing legend had stated that these claims are wrong and that he was a Muslim before he served three years of a six-year sentence.
While talking to Charlie Mack on FightHype.com’s YouTube channel, he said, “I was Muslim before I went in (prison). My chauffeur was in there (the Nation of Islam) — Captain Joe. He would educate me every day, every second,” Tyson said in an interview.
