Muslim Boxers have made a HUGE impact on the sport og boxing!

Tyson was a christian pre-prison.

 

What was? The fact he was ever a Muslim or only post-prison?

 

all because they either went to, or avoided prison.....haha

 

Catholics made a bigger impact. Arguably.

 

He said he was a muslim before he went to prison.

 

Then why did he thank his lord and saviour Jesus Christ after he beat Berbick to become the youngest heavyweight champion ever?

 

Tyson meant that he was always muslim as in having the true belief of one god etc.
He never said he was a practising one.

 

Shame Muslim...?
yeah ...it rhymes.

 

"In prison Mike you became a muslim..."

"No that's not true, I was a muslim before I went to prison, I used to be a Christian too. My family were all starch, hardcore catholics."

 

kinda like born again hmmm Christians too right?
