'Mike Tyson: The Knockout' dissects infamous interview with former wife Robin Givens

Former popular ABC network broadcast journalist Barbara Walters interviewed Mike Tyson and Robin Givens in 1988. The interview took a controversial turn when Givens alleged that Tyson had a "volatile temperament." Givens claimed that Tyson often tried to be intimidating by swinging fists at her.

While making the disclosure, the former actress avoided making eye contact with the former WBC heavyweight champion.

"He has got a side to him, that's scary. Michael is intimidating, to say the least... he cannot control his temper, and that is frightening to me and my mother. He gets out of control, throwing screaming. He shakes, he pushes, he swings," said Robin Givens.
