Mike Tyson recently joined Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast, where the NBA legend shared an unforgettable—and completely wild—story about the first time he visited the boxing icon’s mansion.
Shaq recalled walking into the grand entrance of Tyson’s home, expecting a quiet moment to get settled. Instead, he got the shock of his life.
“So I open the door, right? There’s nobody in the lobby. So, you know, I want to make myself at home. I start walking… a f***ing tiger comes running down the stairs. A real white tiger,” Shaq said, laughing.
“How much sh*t came out of your a**?” his co-host joked.
“A lot,” Shaq admitted.
The story didn’t stop there. Shaq went on to describe the surreal moment when Tyson casually approached the tiger and started wrestling with it. “Mike came and he started wrestling the tiger. I told my boy, ‘I’m not a gambling man, but I wish I had a million dollars to put on the fight. I just seen this man stop a full-grown f****** tiger.’”
It’s no secret that Mike Tyson once famously owned several tigers as pets, but hearing the firsthand chaos through Shaq’s eyes proves just how legendary—and unpredictable—Tyson’s world really was.
