Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson says Donald Trump will have his vote in 2016.

“He should be president of the United States”, Tyson told HuffPost Live.
In Tyson’s opinion, Trump would run the US like a “business” where “color doesn’t matter”. “Whoever can do the job, gets the job”, the former champ added.
However, Tyson’s ringing endorsement of Trump comes at a time where the business mogul might have needed a media boost after slipping poll numbers show fellow GOP front-runner, Ben Carson gaining in strength too.
“We tried Obama, right?” His infamous 1997 fight with Evander Holyfield was referred to as “The Bite Fight”, after Tyson bit off the top of Holyfield’s right ear. The site, which in July vowed to cover the Trump campaign in its entertainment section, says that doesn’t mean its policy has changed. So we’ve got to change. He admitted the remarks were “crude”, but said he doesn’t think Trump “thinks of Latinos in that way”.
“He didn’t know how to say it”, Tyson said. Quarterback Tom Brady backtracked on recent comments he made supporting a Trump presidency, claiming that recent reports that he’s endorsing Trump were taken out of context, according to Politico.
