Mike Tyson is one of the most popular sports figures across the globe. Since he became the youngest heavyweight champion in the world, he has been treated as a celebrity in the crowd. Where ever he goes, he finds fans eager to meet him. Though it sounds good, it has become too much for him. Now, he is tired of giving autographs and clicking pictures with fans.

In a recent sitting with Angie Martinez, ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ talked about the dark side of being famous.

 “I think I’m overrated as the mom an entity of what I am now can’t go into place without people applauding War can’t walk the street no more it’s can’t do what makes me me anymore  no because um I don’t have no space I am Boomers in my place constantly yeah,” Tyson said.

Next, he added,

“I do every, I give them all attention. I give them all the autographs and papers they want and they just don’t f**king stop and they don’t understand that I get angry too.”

Tyson’s remark recalls an infamous incident that took place in an airplane a few months earlier.

On April 20, ‘Iron’ Mike took a JetBlue flight from San Francisco to Florida. On the Plane, he came across an aggressive fan. The video obtained showed Tyson releasing a flurry of punches on him. Per reports, this fan was harassing Tyson for a while. Tyson warned him first and then took the other path.

Later, when the incident went viral, the police took action. Since the nuisance was created by the fan itself so Tyson came clean without facing any charge.

What is Mike Tyson doing now?

The former two-time world champion has turned into a gentleman who keeps himself limited to his priorities. He is a business mogul and a podcaster.
