Former heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson recently gave a no-holds-barred interview, in which he reveals that after taking copious amounts of drugs and drinking heavily, he started beating up seven prostitutes in his hotel room in 2009.

Mike tells Las Vegas Weekly:

“Laying in bed in a hotel room – I try never to be alone, even if it’s a prostitute, a dog.”

“This is really dark. I am in my hotel suite, I’ve got seven women there, and I have a morphine drip, and I had my cocaine, and I had my (Viagra like pill) Cialis, I had my marijuana, I had the Hennessy, and I am at my lowest point because I got paranoid and I thought these women were trying to rob me and set me up.”

“I started beating them. I was in a dark place. There was a purpose, though, because I didn’t want to give them any more of my soul.”

“So this is my devil, this is where I am, I am locked up alone. There is nobody there telling me that I’m doing too much.”

“That’s when I realised it wasn’t just demons – it was the devil himself.”

“So this is my devil, this is where I am, I am locked up alone. There is nobody there telling me that I’m doing too much. That is the devil, he won. I kicked them all out.”

“So that was my lowest point. Oh, man. I am just very grateful to be here — my heart should have blown apart. I was sweating wide awake. No more cocaine. No more. Three years clean.”

DAMN!!! Drugs are no joke!
