Teddy Atlas, former trainer to world-renowned boxer Mike Tyson, revealed significant issues that arose between them during their early years together. Atlas began training Tyson when he was just 12 years old, but revealed that the boxer’s problematic behavior began to escalate as he entered his teenage years. According to Atlas, Tyson began disrupting school proceedings, getting involved in physical altercations, and eventually, a serious incident with an 11-year-old female relative of Atlas. Atlas firmly believes in a high standard of moral conduct, both inside and outside the ring, and these incidents led to Atlas throwing Tyson out of his gym. Unfortunately, Cus D'Amato allowed Tyson back into the gym, leading to a significant clash between Atlas and his partners. Atlas pulled a gun on Tyson to ensure his family’s safety against the young boxer’s threat and eventually shot a bullet near Tyson's ear to make him understand the seriousness of his words.
