Mike Tyson Calls Toronto News Host a "Piece of S--t" for Bringing Up Boxer's Rape Conviction on Live TV—Watch!

Athlete blows up at Nathan Downer after mentioning the boxer's criminal record on CP24

Get ready to watch one of the most awkward TV interviews ever.

Boxer Mike Tyson went off on Toronto's CP24 reporter Nathan Downer during a live interview Wednesday afternoon after the reporter mentioned Tyson's rape conviction.

Downer brought up that the former athlete had met up with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford on Tuesday and asked Tyson whether he thought his criminal record could damage the reputation of the mayor (who admitted to smoking crack during "one of [his] drunken stupors").

Tyson seemed calm at first, but what came out of his mouth proved that the news host really got under his skin.

"You're being negative," he told Downer, later adding, "You're really a piece of s--t. F--k you!"

Downer reminded Tyson that he was on live TV, but that didn't seem to faze the boxer, who responded, "I don't care. What are you going to do about it?"

The CP24 reporter tried to change the subject to Tyson's one-man show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, which he is scheduled to perform at the Air Canada Centre Wednesday night, but the celeb wasn't having it, and continued to curse at Downer, calling him a "rat piece of s--t."

And that was pretty much the end of that interview.
