Did Mike Tyson just deliver a knockout punch to Jeb Bush, Ben Carson and other Republican nominees for President?
Probably not.
But the former heavyweight champion of the world did step into the political ring during a recent interview with The Huffington Post, making it very clear who has his support.
Speaking about Donald Trump, Tyson said simply, “he should be President of the United States,” going on to explain:
"Let"s try something new. Let"s run America like a business, where no colors matter. Whoever can do the job, gets the job."
What about the comments Trump has made about women? What about what Trump said about Mexicans? And then about other immigrants?
Tyson admitted some of these remarks may have been a tad on the "crude" side, but whatever. That"s Iron Mike"s basic take.
Tyson doesn"t believe Trump actually "thinks of Latinos in that [negative] way," offering no real evidence to back up this assertion.
The former boxer went on to say he would absolutely "endorse" Trump for real if asked, though Trump"s campaign is yet to reach out and inquire.
It is worth noting that Tyson may have changed his reputation over recent years by appearing in The Hangover movies and even starring in a Broadway play.
But the guy did go to jail for rape. He also has a tattoo on his face. And he also once bit off part of Evander Holyfield"s ear inside the ring during a match.
Even Donald Trump may not want him in his corner.
(Eh, who are we kidding? Donald Trump has no standards. )
