He was released from jail in 1995 and continued his boxing career.

But 'Iron Mike' revealed some of the stars that came to see him while he was incarcerated for just under three years.

He appeared on and spoke to NORE and DJ EFN and a teaser clip for the full interview was dropped online.

Tyson revealed the respect inmates had when late rapper Tupac Shakur went to visit.

The 55-year-old said: "They respected (Tupac Shakur), soon as he came in the room, they started applauding.

"When I was locked up, I had such a onslaught of visitors. I had everybody– BB King, James Brown, Whitney Houston, everybody came.

"Florence Henderson, I can’t even name no more, just so many people came to visit me when I was away.”
