Mike Tyson in Chechnya

by Andy on September 15, 2005

Yes, it’s true, says Mosnews.  Iron Mike is going to pop down to Chechnya where he can sit back, chill out and watch some quality boxing:

The Gudermes tournament, dedicated to the late Chechen president Akhmad Kadyrov, will last until Sept. 20. It will gather world, European and Russian champions from all over the country, RIA Novosti reports.

Tyson arrived in Moscow on Sept. 5 and was only supposed to stay in Russia until last week. However he is still in Moscow, taking part in numerous public events, Interfax reports.

Neeka’s Mom, by the way, had her own run in with the ear chewing maniac while out grocery shopping the other day…

Turned out Mike Tyson was on collision course with my mama - he was smiling to everyone around him as he walked right at her (and she right at him), and when their eyes met, mama did something that almost gave my papa a heart attack when she retold the scene to him: she smiled, then lifted her hand to her ear, pulled it very gently a few times, and winked at Tyson.

Believe it or not, but Tyson winked back at her!
