And yes, the title just abour sums it up. Upon leaving customs in Hawaii to head back home who should be behind my Mom and I as we were checking our luggage? Mike Tyson. He was with a small entourage and some woman in HUGE gold heels. (classy). I proceeded to step through the medal detector and SHOCKER, it goes off. I was asked to step to the side while they had Mr. Tyson step through...He also set the medal detector off. He was ushered right next to me in the bull pin and we were both checked over by airport security side by side. We saw him a couple more times walking through gift shops and whatnot. My Mom grabbed a newspaper for the flight and there he was on the cover! Apparently he was in town for some kind of boxing/wrestling event he was not participating in. Seeing that he was actually in Hawaii made my moment at customs all the more real. :) I will never forget it.

PS. Yes his voice WAS funny. :)

I
am one of the million fans of boxing and I will never forget the
history that embarks in the name of Mike Tyson and it's good to see
him. Speaking of boxing, the current fight of Manny Pacquiao to Shane
Mosley has been thrilled to public. They won’t be
cheap.Boxing has lost much of the reputation it had during the Mike
Tyson regime. Yet there are times when all it takes to turn the
combat sports world around is an excellent fight, which is what “The
People's Champ” Pacquiao versus “Sugar” Shane Mosley will
provide. The two highly skilled welterweights will put the smack down
Saturday, May 7, and 8 p.m. Eastern on Showtime PPV. I found this
here: Manny
Pacquiao versus Shane Mosley fight airs Saturday
