Mike Tyson, 56, Makes Honest Confession About His Wife

Mike Tyson is undoubtedly one of our generation’s most popular and successful athletes. Apart from that, he is also one of the most controversial athletes of our time. He has experienced both the pinnacle of achievement and a fall from grace. However, his wife has always stood by his side and supported him in facing the challenges, both in his professional and personal lives.

In a recent interview, the boxing legend talked about the unique traits of his wife while also highlighting her weaknesses. Tyson mentioned in an interview, “I don’t think she’s made that way to think about the power that she possess and she’s capable of doing. She lived her life as a humble woman and a wife and stuff, but she has no idea what kind of power she possess. She doesn’t even want the power, she’s probably afraid of it.” 

He further added, “She’s always uhh, this is what I know about my wife, and that’s why we are different, that’s why we get along. She’s always, um, what is the word that I’m looking for. The caretaker, yes she is a caretaker, my wife takes care of everybody. She wants everybody to be happy, she wants every world to be perfect, she wants to love the world. But the world was too big to love.”
