Mike Tyson in Pink Panties

Iron Mike Tyson, former heavyweight champion of the world, won’t be feeling like a tough guy wearing pink underwear and a jumpsuit. The ex-boxer once called “The Baddest Man on the Planet” will be serving 24-hours behind bars at Tent City in Maricopa County’s infamous jail. The Arizona jail houses 1,500 inmates who are all required to wear pink underwear during their incarceration.

Tyson, 41, pled guilty in September to one count of felony cocaine possession and a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. He was arrested in 2006 leaving a club in Scottsdale. The fighter will also be required to serve three years of probation, perform 360 hours of community service, and undergo drug testing.

This personal problem isn’t the first time Tyson has been involved with the legal system. He was convicted for the rape of Miss Black Rhode Island, Desiree Washington, in an Indianapolis hotel room on February 10, 1992. The ear-biting boxer has also had many financial woes. It’s beene estimated that he has squandered nearly $300 million in ring earnings throughout his life.
