Confrontation With Teddy Atlas - During the early 1980s, Tyson was being trained by Cus D’Amato and Teddy Atlas. There was an incident in which Tyson groped Atlas’s 11-year-old niece, driving Teddy into an all-out rage, which included him putting a gun to Mike’s head and threatening to take his life. Tyson would make amends with Atlas in the summer of 2013.(Photos from left: Jason Merritt/Getty Images for iHeartMedia, Lily Lawrence/Getty Images for Tequila Herradura)B10463-0002
