The 56-year-old had stated: “We are all going to die one day, for sure. Then, when I look in the mirror and I see those little spots on my face, and I say, ‘Wow. My expiry date is approaching. Very early.'”
Tyson, who retired in 2005 after a loss towards Kevin McBride, returned to the ring in November 2020 in an exhibition struggle towards Roy Jones Jr., which was dominated out as a draw.
Tyson’s feedback had been half of a bigger dialog on the podcast, with Tyson saying the cash was nugatory to him.
“Money doesn’t mean s**t to me,” Tyson stated.
“I always tell people that they think a lot of money is going to make them happy. They’ve never had a lot of money before. When you have a lot of money, you can’t expect someone to love you.” How do I present my like to you when you have got $500 Billion Dollars?
“False sense of security. You don’t believe that banks can crash. You believe that when you have a lot of money you become invisible, which is not true. That’s why I always say that money is the key to security. It’s a false feeling.”
Earlier this 12 months, Tyson was recorded on video punching a first-class passenger on board a airplane at San Francisco International Airport. The video exhibits Tyson leaning towards the again of his seat, repeatedly placing the unidentified man within the head, drawing blood.
Tyson turned the youngest heavyweight champion in historical past in 1987 on the age of 20. During his profession he gained 50 victories, of which 44 by knockout.
Tyson was sentenced to a few years in jail after being convicted of rape within the Nineteen Nineties. He has maintained his innocence on this case.
Tyson was briefly barred from boxing in 1997 after he infamously lower off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear throughout a struggle.
