Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson gave some details about his recent private dinner with former President Donald Trump and some of his family that he had at Mar-a-Lago.

Tyson recently had dinner with Trump, former First Lady Melania Trump, and their son Barron, marking their second meeting in the last few months, according to reports.

At one point during an interview with podcaster Patrick Bet David, the host brought up Trump’s recent appearance at a UFC event, when he appeared with Tyson, Kid Rock, and UFC boss Dana White.

“We were at the UFC fight in Miami. And you walked up with Trump,” he said. “And that place lost their mind when you guys walked up. I don’t know if you…?”

“People don’t like it, but Trump is the man,” Tyson said. “Trump is the man, he has his fan base, he has his supporters, and they’re gonna stick with him to the end.”

Bet David then asked Tyson, “How has he been to you over the years?” To which Tyson responded, “I never had a bad moment with him.”

When pressed, Tyson clarified that he’d never had a bad moment with Trump, who agreed in the late 1980s when Tyson’s career was just taking off to be the future heavyweight champ’s financial adviser.

“I became very profited from him,” Tyson said, adding that he just had dinner with the current GOP presidential frontrunner.

“I just had dinner with him a week ago,” Tyson continued. “Me, him, Barron, and his mother, and it was just off the hook. Barron, he’s so smart… This kid’s on top of his game intellectually.”

He also called Melania an “awesome first lady.”

Tyson has been a longtime defender of President Trump. During the 2016 presidential election, he defended the former president against accusations of Islamophobia when he proposed temporarily shutting down the arrival process from all Middle Eastern nations, a policy that actually mimicked one implemented by former President Barack Obama.

“Anybody that was ever president of the United States offended some group of people or some groups of people were offended,” the fighter told TMZ. “Ask his fans if he needs to apologize. He’s still ahead in the polls and he deserves a chance. If they don’t like him, they shouldn’t vote for him. Let’s go to the polls and see who wins.”
