Iron Mike is one of the most influential athletes of all time. Away from the ring, he now hosts his own podcast, where he shares his experiences and life lessons.

Iron Mike replied, “That’s nothing. We’re talking about my life. You’re talking about saving my life. We’re talking about being in prison for the rest of my life. We’re talking about life sh*t here n***a. And so many times I was supposed to go to prison forever. I had more felonies than murderers.”
