“Everybody Loves Me Until I Get Arrested Again”: Mike Tyson on Being Perceived by People

The former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has had his share of ups and downs in personal and public life and his beloved sport. A wide range of controversies has marred the accolades and records achieved by Mike Tyson. However, Tyson believes he has stayed strong and almost always found a way to jab at life. On one hand, he is a legendary boxer whose contribution is unparallel to the promotion and growth of the sport. On the other hand, for some, he is an offender, an accused with infamous events distorting his otherwise perfect life.

In the latest episode of Hart to Heart, host Kevin Hart, in his attempt to understand guest Mike Tyson’s thought process on being perceived by people, said the following: “As a guy sitting on the outside, I don’t view you the same. I hear you, but I don’t view you the same; I don’t look at you the same. I look at you as a man of construction that never stopped building. I am a product of understanding.”

Encouraged by Kevin Hart, Mike Tyson replied by saying, “Alright, understand this. Everybody loves me until I get arrested again. Love is true love, regardless of whatever happens.”

For Mike Tyson, it is all about living life: Heavyweight champion talks about human thought

Mike Tyson realizes he does not live his life for someone else. He speaks of true love and how barely he is affected by people’s take on his life. With Kevin Hart all ears and Tyson charged up with his thought and beliefs, he said, “I’m talking about human thought. Yeah and then he f*cked up. It’s not about being f*cked up, it’s about living life. But I don’t live life for anyone else before I could play that role, as you know.”

“I don’t know whether it’s good or whatever respectable African-American. whatever it is that people look at as a black man being acceptable. I mean, it’s not that guy right now. Maybe my children would be that guy. I’m not gonna be. I just can’t do that,” Tyson concluded by adding.

In conclusion, such is the assessment Mike Tyson has of his own life. According to his words, the journey of his life should have more priority over the unpleasant situations he was in. This is rightly so, because a man’s behaviour in hardships tells us more about him than his success. As the saying goes, “Adversity has a way of introducing a man to himself.”
