Legendary former absolute world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson said that he became a Muslim before the trial, which began in November 1991, Sports.kz reports with reference to Championat.com.
— I converted to Islam long before the trial. He became my true faith. I am still a practicing Muslim and always will be. I need my faith for life itself, for my existence. Without faith you have nothing. “I pray for absolutely everything – for my family, even before crossing the street,” Tyson said.
Note that the athlete was then accused of rape and sentenced to six years in prison.
