Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is not one to shy away from providing his opinion on anything and everything. Now, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ has shifted his attention from trash-talking his rivals to lashing out at therapists. The boxer even labeled them liars and charlatans.

The 54-year-old added, “I don’t believe they’re smarter than me.”

‘Iron Mike’ didn’t stop there. He followed it up with, “Those are just hustlers. They’re like snake oil sellers… They’re liars… They’re charlatans”
