Though he first professed reluctance to reveal his political opinions, Mike Tyson detailed in an interview with Newsmax how he gradually shifted toward conservatism.
“Listen, if I start talking about politics, my friends are not going to like me. Hey, let’s just not do that, okay? Let’s just not do that. My family gets mad; my friends get mad when we talk about politics. ”
