"The Last Dance" has exposed a lot to what happened to the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan in particular. Most have been surprising, a mix of controversial revelations that were tied up to the club's rise and fall from the NBA scene.

The 10-part documentary focuses on the last moments that included Jordan's last meal. But it appears the NBA great almost had his "last meal" in 1988 if then-champion boxer Mike Tyson had his way. There are now different stories cropping up, claiming that Tyson almost beat up the NBA legend during a birthday part of Hall of Famer and former Chicago Bears defensive end Richard Dent.

Jordan was one of the select guests invited to the occasion along with Mike Tyson. Other popular faces that were around at that time included Bears coach Mike Ditka, Don King, and Tyson's manager, Rory Holloway. The party was held on Dec. 13, 1988, Boxingscene reported.

At the time, Tyson was also at the peak of his boxing career. He was undefeated and was seemingly unstoppable in the ring. He demolished boxers who dared step to face him. But alongside that were off-ring issues. And one included Tyson's ex-wife Robin Givens.

Tyson and Givens had broken up, something that tore apart the former boxing champion. But at the party, he was aware that Jordan had at one point dated Givens. Having too much to drink, Tyson allegedly aimed the Chicago Bulls star for having something to do with his former wife. Some say that Jordan was shocked and wanted to leave the party but others gave different versions.

Having too much to drink, Tyson was allegedly ready to give Jordan a pounding. But people were trying to pacify and hold Iron Mike down. As for Jordan, some say he was composed and had no plans to debate or even fight the heavyweight boxer. There were even some who say that nothing of the like happened.

Either way, it was something that most probably never knew. Jordan and Tyson went on to become big-time athletes although they took different paths. Jordan remains one of the best NBA stars ever to play the game, same with Tyson had it not for his off-ring issues.

Tyson was recently spotted working out, something that was reportedly part of a promotional deal with Sony. But it appears footage of his workout has drawn interest. The latest word on that Iron Mike has been getting offers to fight for a cause. One is to fight rugby stars in Australia for $1 million each (via TMZ) and the other is to face Shannon Briggs in a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Promotion according to David Feldman.
