Boxing legend Mike Tyson has not been having the best of years physically. The 56-year-old was recently found in a wheelchair at the Miami airport in a weak and frail condition which led many to wonder what was going on with Iron Mike. It was later revealed that he had problems with his back and cited a sciatica flare-up as the cause of his weakness.

Moreover, it looks like Tyson had some disturbing thoughts to share on the latest episode of his podcast. The episode featured rappers Fat Joe and Angie Martinez, who were discussing life and death along with Iron Mike when he made an interesting revelation about the cult of Heaven’s gate.

Heaven’s gate was a cult formed in the 1970s by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. According to their teachings, Jesus had arrived 2,000 years earlier in a spaceship, but was crucified before he could complete his mission. However, his cult would be part of some disturbing things after it was revealed that 39 members would kill themselves in 1997.

Tyson responded by claiming that he enjoyed watching this kind of stuff. This also shocked Joe, who told Tyson that it was ‘crazy’. Martinez then asked Tyson if he was fascinated by this. Iron Mike stated that he wasn’t fascinated but curious how one person could control so many people while they never realize who the person actually was. “No, not that fascinating. It’s like a person’s in this room. No one knows that guy’s in this room,” he added.
