The former heavyweight Mike Tyson has earned hundreds of millions of dollars throughout the boxing career, but Tyson's life was also full of volatility, from the event of biting part of Evander Holyfield in the 1997 match to bankruptcy when $ 60 million.
Tyson's life is now more calm, but sometimes he still looks back on crazy moments in his life.
Mike Tyson does not like to look back at his youth
Mike Tyson talked about his previous person in an interview with BLV Joe Rogan.
“I have many emotions mixed with my previous life … Not that I don't like myself before or what happened, I am just trying to forget those things because I am now a completely different person,” Mike Tyson admitted.
Previously, Tyson was often crazy in press conferences.
“I have reviewed some previous press conferences and I want to tell them (people in the press conference), I will never tell anyone like that again. My world is now a very different world.”
Even though he still loves Boxing, Mike Tyson admits he does not like watching boxing battles now because it reminds him of the past.
“I didn't even see anything, trying to avoid as far as possible,” Tyson said. “Neither my previous matches.”
Mike Tyson said that his ego has caused many problems
Also in an interview with Joe Rogan, Tyson admitted that his coach, Cus D'Amato made him create a huge ego in his professional career. However, Tyson has never learned to control it, so that ego has caused many serious problems for him.
“I have never seen that before, like taking medicine … one, you only feel you are a true man,” Tyson said. “Then people say you are great … That's true. We will destroy all opponents. These guys are getting rid of our glory.”
So, when talking about Mike Tyson, people often mention the past with his crazy and wild actions. However, Tyson was not happy when repeating those types.
“Thinking about it, I didn't want to be related to those times. I wish those things had never happened.”
Mike Tyson knew people like his former people, but he was obviously not.
“Everyone still loves the old man of the old days. And now I don't like that guy very much … I am quite conflicting with people who have the same way of behavior.
