He was then summoned to a Brazilian court, where he was dressed in the shirt of Argentina's fierce football rivals. His back featured the Maradona.
Tyson met former Barcelona star in 2005 during a TV appearance. This was possibly where he received the signed top that he wore to court.
Local reports claimed Iron Mike, the youngest heavyweight champion at age 20, made 'obscene gestures before television cameras'.
Tyson was instructed to go back to court on March 7, although there is no indication that the case was reopened.
This alleged incident occurred just five months after McBride's retirement fight against Danny McBride. It happened after six painful rounds.
After overcoming depression and substance abuse, Tyson has made a complete turnaround in his life.

The fight ended in a draw, but Tyson was inspired to fight again. Rumours last year claimed that he was in talks with Logan Paul, 26-year-old YouTuber, or Lennox Lewis (56-year-old ex-opponent).
In 2002, Lewis defeated an in-of-shape Tyson. He claimed Evander Holyfield (now 59) was his most difficult opponent.
On Instagram, he wrote: "People seem to really be surprised when I tell people Evander Holyfield is my toughest opponent, and not to be confused [Ray] Mercer."
