Mike Tyson's bizarre message of support for Diddy as rapper is denied bail


In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the 58-year-old boxing legend was grilled about his links to Combs, 54, who will stand trial in May 2025.

Tyson, who has known Combs for decades, appeared shocked when made aware of the speculation around his name in the wake of the rapper's arrest for a host of sex trafficking and racketeering offences last month. The former heavyweight champion of the world has been pictured with Combs at multiple events over the years, with the pair partying together at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008 and enjoying a boxing match at Madison Square Garden in 2004. 'Iron Mike' was initially set to fight Paul on July 20, but experienced a health issue on a flight from Los Angeles to Miami that forced him to push back the highly-anticipated bout.
