Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson was saved by religion - literally.
"They were discussing [how] Mike Tyson had to be murdered," gang member Shelby Henderson said yesterday about a conversation in 2000 among members of the vicious Cash Money Brothers.
Henderson, testifying in Brooklyn federal court, said the gang even saw Tyson a few months later and was ready to start shooting. But Henderson said he talked his buddy out of the killing because Tyson was a fellow Muslim.
Henderson revealed Tyson's brush with death as he testified for the prosecution at the murder trial of one of the gang members.
