Most of the audiences couldn’t understand Tyson’s words, and people said that it can be an outcome of CTE. While the whole internet got in a hurry to predict the reasons, Tyson stated that he was just sleep-deprived.

Turning to Twitter, Tyson said that he tried to stay up late for the interview but ended up falling asleep. He also mentioned that he did not have a monitor, so he couldn’t see anyone and forgot to look into the camera.

“Like a lion, I’m hard to wake once asleep. Training hard and going to bed early.”

It is no surprise that ‘Iron’ Mike is putting extra work into his training. Ending a hiatus of 15 years in professional boxing, Tyson will lace up the gloves for an eight-round battle. Thus, it might not be a simple journey for him.
