Mike Tyson Says He Gave A Letter From Diddy To President Trump

Retired boxing great Mike Tyson opened up about a letter he delivered to President Trump from disgraced hip-hop producer Sean “Diddy” Combs in a recent interview with Andy Cohen.

Tyson, 60, appeared on an episode of SiriusXM’s “Andy Cohen Live” released Thursday, where the namesake host asked the former heavyweight champion if he was “buddies with P. Diddy.”

“Yeah, I’m friendly with Puff,” Tyson said, referring to Combs’ former stage name, Puff Daddy.

The former heavyweight champ told Cohen he is “friendly with Puff.”

Cohen then asks Tyson if he’s still in touch with the convicted rapper while he remains behind bars at the Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey on prostitution-related crimes.

Iron Mike explained he “spoke to him once on the phone” and revealed that Diddy asked for a favor.

“He wanted me to give a letter to the president,” Tyson said, prompting Cohen to ask if he in fact did “give a letter to the president from him?”

“I did what he told me to do,” Tyson said, without providing further details.

Tyson’s good deed for Diddy first made headlines when insiders told The US Sun in January that the athlete hand-delivered a letter to Trump.

Sources close to Tyson claim he was given a pardon request letter by someone in the disgraced rapper’s inner circle and asked him to deliver it personally to Trump, according to the publication.

Donald Trump is ‘not a p***y President,’ according to his longtime friend and boxing legend Mike Tyson.

Speaking on the latest episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tyson discussed his history with Trump, whom he first met as a young heavyweight in the 1980s as the future President was making a name for himself in New York and Atlantic City real estate.

‘I voted for him,’ the 60-year-old Tyson told Morgan. ‘I ran the streets for him. You know, me getting votes… I’m very proud of him. He’s somebody that everybody should be proud of.’

Tyson doesn’t have many remaining personal ties to his early days in the ring. The boxing legend’s famed trainer, Cus D’Amato, died in 1985, his turbulent marriage to actress Robin Givens ended four years later and Tyson’s fragile business relationship with promoter Don King finally ruptured in the late 1990s.

But for all of the turnover surrounding Tyson, Trump has been a constant for the former heavyweight champion. Not only did Tyson fight at Trump’s hotels and casinos, later adding the real estate mogul to his unofficial entourage, but the two remained friends throughout the ups and downs of their later lives.

And it’s those obstacles that make Trump an admirable figure in the eyes of Tyson: ‘Listen, if you didn’t know who Donald Trump was and you didn’t know his name, you would think he’s Black.’
