Recently, on his personal Hotboxin’ podcast, former heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson confused fans when he thought he was ‘numbered’ by death.
While chatting with guest physical therapist Sean McFarland, boxing legend Mike Tyson suddenly said: “When I look in the mirror, I see small spots on my face. That means the day of my death is approaching, very soon.”
Boxing legend Mike Tyson surprised fans
After making guests and fans confused by this statement, the 56-year-old legend changed the topic of conversation to money and the troubles it brought to his life.
Tyson said that “money doesn’t mean anything” to him and it doesn’t bring him happiness.
Mike “Steel” said: “I always tell people, who always think that money will make them happy, that when you have a lot of money, it will be easy for you to have a lover. But are you sure that they will truly love you?
You believe that you are invincible when you have a lot of money, which is not true. That’s why I always say that money doesn’t give us security.
Can you guarantee that when you have money, you will not get sick or have a car accident? Can money protect you from that?”
Mike Tyson is considered “the scariest man on the planet”
At the peak of his fame, Mike Tyson had it all. Not only is he the youngest heavyweight champion in history, but he is also a millionaire.
When all his money is added up, Mike Tyson’s net worth is nearly $700 million from boxing matches alone.
Despite that huge net worth, Mike Tyson fell into the vortex of money.
Mike Tyson’s entertainment was very luxurious, but his income was not enough to pay for it and soon, Mike “Steel” lost everything. Finally, in 2003, Mike Tyson was forced to file for bankruptcy.
