Mike Tyson is an open book these days.

The former heavyweight champion shared seemingly everything about his life in his one-man show Undisputed Truth. Earlier this week, Tyson revealed some more truth from his past – that he was sexually abused as a boy.

Tyson, who is making the media rounds to promote his new show Mike Tyson Mysteries on Adult Swim, described the incident on SirusXM’s ‘Opie and Jimmy Show.’

“[The man] bullied me, sexually abused me and stuff…snatched me off the street,” Tyson said. “I was a little kid. Never seen him again.”

Tyson said he never told anyone about the “one-time” incident when he was 7 years old and was unsure if the situation has left him with any “emotional scars.”

He also said he never saw the man again.

“I am not embarrassed or ashamed of anything,” Tyson concluded.

Tyson made some different headlines Wednesday when he joked to CNN’s Don Lemon on-air that the anchor was “full of sh*t.”
