As far as I know, Mike Tyson fired Kevin Rooney, because he disliked Robin Givens and told some bad things about her. I read about it in one website where Kevin Rooney told. Basically Kevin Rooney knew whonwas Rovin Givens and what it will lead to. He was not wrong.
Also, Mike Tyson was around Don King, who also encouraged him to fire Rooney, as he told him that you don't need to train anymore, you are strong enough.
Sensitive Tyson fired Rooney because at the time Rooney made some comments about his wife he didn't like. His race baiting handlers used that to get rid of the last member of his original catskills team.
Kevin Rooney use to train me too. I love that man. I cry when I think of him. I’ve never met someone with more integrity than that man. Every story he told me about Tyson turned out to be true years later before Tyson went public
Mike Tyson was at his best with rooney because he kept mike disciplined and knew the style coming up in cus gym kept mike doing the right stuff defensively mike stopped moving his head didnt bob and weave and got flat footed he definitely would of been able to beat all the guys , but the prison sentence hurt him as well he was not even close to the fighter he was before prison then the drugs did the rest thats why he declined so fast he had yes men in his life that used drugs to take advantage of him 💯🥊
Kevin Rooney is the best trainer Mike Tyson ever had set Cus to the side Rooney did pads was in Mike’s corner used to calm Mike down hug and be there for Mike but yet no one gives Rooney the credit!!
This bald white dude is always trying to talk to dudes, like they're at Olive Garden, with a red wine.. why's he in the fight world.. does he own everlast gloves or promos?

Why does no one ever ask "What happened between you and Kevin Rooney"?
Why nobody asks the simple question? Why you fired Rooney???

Tyson with Rooney would’ve likely retired undefeated. Possibly broke Marcianos W-L record.

One of the worst business decisions that a professional athlete has ever made.

We all mostly rooted for Kevin…. Every single person I knew back then felt a loss for Tyson and Kevin ….
Kevin would later say Mike turned to a puncher a great puncher but he forgot how to hit with out getting Hit. Kevin was amazing.
After Cus died and got rid of Jim Jackobs his biggest mistake was getting rid of Kevin Rooney. When Kevin left everything started going downhill.
Don King got rid of Kevin Rooney.
Don’t know how true it is but I’ve heard Rooney was taking 2 million $ a fight.
Tyson was never as good without Kevin Rooney.
You can see young Mike when he talks about Rooney
If tyson had not fired Kevin, tyson would have been the goat of boxing
Kevin Rooney has to be the greatest trainer of all time
I to this day believe tyson would have been undefeated had he stuck with Kevin and Teddy .
Change the title
