"Her relationship with Mike Tyson was more satisfying. The two met just before Tyson — then 20, 15 years Johnson’s junior — was scheduled to fight for the heavyweight championship of the world. Tyson “gushed” about how much of a fan he was of hers, telling her “how beautiful I was,” and asking her on a date. The two spoke on the phone constantly, and just before his big fight — which, if he won, would have made him the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history — Johnson blurted out, surprising even herself, “If you win, I’ll give you some.” Tyson won, and showed up at Johnson’s door 19 hours later, an impressive feat considering that the fight was in Las Vegas and Johnson lived in New York. Johnson kept her promise. “Our first time together was nice, if not the most passionate of nights I’d experienced with a man,” she writes. “Mike was young and still learning how to please a woman, but I very much enjoyed it anyway. Mike was so full of excitement and vigor that it was actually contagious.” The two dated for months and ultimately parted friends.
