Tyson said Combs asked him to pass a letter to Trump as the music mogul seeks clemency after a 50-month sentence.

  • Retired boxer Mike Tyson revealed in a recent SiriusXM interview that he helped incarcerated mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs send a handwritten letter to President Donald Trump seeking a pardon.
  • Combs is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence for two prostitution-related charges, with his release scheduled for March 8, 2028.

  • Earlier this year, Trump confirmed receiving a pardon request from Combs but told Newsmax that granting it might be "difficult" due to past political criticism from the mogul.
  • Beyond his criminal sentence, Combs continues to face multiple lawsuits from individuals alleging sexual misconduct, even as he maintains support from figures like Tyson.
