Mike Tyson claimed he found his ex-wife in bed with Brad Pitt as their divorce was being filed, saying the Hollywood actor was 'afraid' of him.
Actor Robin Givens and boxing legend Mike Tyson got married in February 1988, but divorced just a year later.
Their relationship was extremely messy. Both parties flung accusations at each other and Givens cited 'fears for her safety' as her reason for divorcing the boxer.
Years later, Tyson - who is set to face off against Jake Paul in July - wrote in his 2013 memoir Undisputed Truth that Robin was having an affair with Brad while they were married, which Givens has denied.

He wrote that he pulled into Givens' driveway and saw her in a car with Brad, and claims he caught them in bed together on another occasion.
Mike claimed that Brad - who it was recently reported will appear in Quentin Tarantino's final film The Movie Critic - had pleaded with him not to hurt him, saying: "Dude, don’t hit me, don’t hit me."
He wrote: "You had to see the look on his face. He looked like he was ready to receive his last rites. He also looked stoned out of his gourd."
His doubled down on his claims during an appearance on In Depth with Graham Bensinger in which he told the presenter that he was 'mad as hell' when he caught Pitt with his ex-wife.
He said: "I was going to…you should have seen his face when he saw me. I was due a divorce but every day I would go to her house to have sex with her.
"This particular day, someone beat me to the punch. I guess Brad Pitt got there earlier than I did."
But, responding to the boxer's bold claims, Givens told Andy Cohen on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live: "I didn’t read his book.
"Pulling up in the driveway? That part’s true. I thought he said he caught us in bed. I didn’t read the book, but I was told he said he caught us in bed, which never happened. Never, ever, ever happened."
She also clarified that she and Pitt were in the car 'returning from a screening or something'.
As for Tyson's claims that the actor pleaded with him not to hit him, Givens laughed.
"Does that sound like Brad?" she asked. "Brad’s got swag, you know what I mean. No, never."
And, while Givens and Pitt did date at some point in the 80s, she denied ever being unfaithful to Tyson.
