In a resurfaced video, the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ made a shocking confession. And to an extent, it was pretty dark. However, it does give an insight into the raw and authentic side of Mike Tyson. The former two-time heavyweight champion was known for his ferociousness inside the ring, having exotic pets, and living a lavish lifestyle. However, in order to attain his riches, he had to sacrifice a lot and go through many hardships during his prime years of boxing. Tyson is one of the most popular boxers of all time but ironically, the sport that made him popular also made him lonely.

It’s the loneliest sport in the world you know what I’m saying?” In addition, he made a personal revelation that left the fans intrigued. So let’s dive into what Tyson had to say about his personal life during his prime and the fan’s reaction to it.
