#DidYouKnow that Mike Tyson once made a rather unusual offer at the zoo? The legendary boxer, known for his formidable presence in the ring, apparently has a soft spot for animals – and a strong sense of justice! During a zoo visit years ago, Tyson witnessed what he perceived as some gorillas bullying others within their enclosure. In a moment fueled by his protective instincts, “Iron Mike” reportedly offered a zookeeper a staggering $10,000 to unlock the cage of a silverback gorilla, intending to step in and, well, let’s just say “handle” the situation himself.
While the image of a boxing icon squaring off against a silverback gorilla is certainly a vivid one, it’s widely believed that this spontaneous proposition was more of a passionate, spur-of-the-moment reaction rather than a serious plan. Imagine the zookeeper’s surprise! It certainly speaks volumes about Tyson’s impulsive nature and his willingness to take on any perceived injustice, even in the animal kingdom.
