This naturally made many people wonder whether Iron Mike would ever let his family get on the show. However, the former heavyweight champion revealed the reason his wife and daughter will never co-host the show. In an episode of the show, rapper Angie Martinez, who was the guest at the time, urged Tyson to let his wife co-host the show. Tyson then stated that he had always wanted to get his wife and daughter on the show but claimed that they didn’t have the ‘heart’ to be on it.

Listen I want her to do that. I want my daughter to co-host with me. They have no heart, they are chickens.” He said. Moreover, he added that his wife wouldn’t allow him to curse or be rude in the show, which was not ideal for the ‘Baddest Man On The Planet’. “My wife might say be nice, Mike. She starts to apologize. Hey you know my show that’s the sh*t I gotta hear.” he added.

Even at 56 years old, he looked ferocious as ever hitting the pads with speed and accuracy. Moreover, he even ducked and weaved with punches, making the caption, “Roll with the punches,'” very suitable for the video. Tyson has had back issues for a long time even during his career. However, he still keeps moving forward with the spirit of the champion that he is.
