“They Are Prosti**tes” – Mike Tyson Gives a Reality Check to Gym Jumpers

‘The Baddest man on the Planet’ entertains the spectators in his podcast of ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’. In his recent podcast, he mentioned some devastating facts about gym hoppers.

In his recent podcast, he shared some interesting views with famous combatants, Ric Flair and Julianna Pena. The UFC Bantamweight Champion, Pena, asked Tyson about his views on fighters changing their gym.

Kid Dynamite gave a surreal reply to this question and described the facts. He said, “I think they are pr**titutes. I don’t… pick up nobody cause they do it that’s just what they call, that’s just what they call them. I didn’t invent the name, that’s just what they call. Now, they guess they call them hoes, but they are pr**titutes.”

Tyson’s reply suggested that he wasn’t in the favor of gym hoppers at all. Meanwhile, he also shared his belief in what it takes to achieve a good result for a fighter.
