Mike Tyson For Hire

“TYSON THE RENT BOY.”

The Star wafts its front-page headline beneath its readers’ noses like a vial of smelling salts.

The news is that Mike Tyson is for hire. The Baddest Man On the Planet is yours for the right fee.

Tyson, whose Iron Mike porn name gives him a running start on most newcomers to his new profession, will be a star trick at ex-Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss’s legal brothel.

Fleiss has invested her money in a 60-acre plot in Nevada, upon which she plans to erect Heidi’s Stud Farm. Says Fleiss: “I told him: ‘You’re going to be my big stallion.’”

For his part, Tyson says he cannot wait. “I don’t care what any man says, it’s every man’s dream to please every woman – and get paid for it.”

Indeed, it is the dream for many men. And it will only ever remain a fantasy for Tyson, who in 1992 was convicted on rape and other charges, and jailed for six years.

And, in any case, who is to say that Tyson will only get to have sex with gaggles of gorgeous women?

It is our belief that it is men who make up a large part of a rent boy’s client list.

It’s a belief that invites us to revisit Tyson’s former conquests. What could Tyson have meant when he told Lennox Lewis “I’m coming for you man” and said to Razor Ruddock: “You’re sweet. I’m going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I’m gonna make you my girlfriend.”

Were these bouts of machismo pride, Tyson seeking to dominate his adversary in any way possible? Or is there something more to this?

It would take far bigger and braver men than we to confront the full payload of Iron Mike’s sexuality. We only wish to highlight the realities of his career.

It just might be that Tyson does not get to devour tasty women in a flesh pit.

Instead, Mike might have to make do with sinking his teeth into some man meat, like Evander Holyfield, whose ear he famously nibbled…
