Mike Tyson may, in fact, have done it all. The former boxing professional and tiger owner recently made quite a shocking confession when he claimed that he had once offered to pay $10,000 to fight a gorilla at a New York zoo.
Tyson, while in conversation with The Sun, revealed that he had once tried to pay a zookeeper $10,000 for one chance at punching a silverback gorilla that was bullying other apes after the particular gorilla interrupted his plans of having some romance.
