MIKE TYSON once beat up Andrew Golota so badly he was forced to quit after two rounds with fans hurling a barrage of abuse at the Polish heavyweight as he escaped the ring.
Mike Tyson once beat up Andrew Golota so badly he had to quit after two roundsFans hurled abuse at the Polish heavyweight as he escaped the ring
The American heavyweight bad boy fought former title challenger Golota in Michigan and peppered him with thudding right hands and hooks in the opening six minutes.
As Golota returned to his corner at the end of the first and second, he decided he had enough and urged his cornermen to “stop the fight” which caused a melee between them.
Trainer Al Certo replied between rounds: “Don’t you dare. Don’t you f***ing dare you c**ksucker. You’re going to win this fight.
“You ain’t quitting. You’re going to win this fight. What the f*** is the matter with you?
“What are you doing? You’re going to disgrace yourself.”
Golota refused to listen to his corner and pushed them and the referee out of the way as he said “I quit” before the bell for the third round could ring.
The Pole suffered a concussion, fractured left cheekbone and a herniated disc during the six-minute fight and then took three years out from boxing straight after.
