Mike Tyson Walks off Stage Mid-Interview in Front of 3,000 Fans, Here’s Why

Mike Tyson is a legend of the sport. His legacy exceeds everyone else’s in history. In his later years, the renowned boxer has encountered a few health challenges. Tyson recently attended prominent entrepreneur Patrick Bet David‘s VAULT Conference for a discussion. They discussed the psychology behind his most famous fights and shared never-told-before stories about some of his biggest enemies.

The podcast was aided by fans asking questions to both David and Tyson. During the interview, however, Tyson got up and left his seat in front of 3000 fans. This left the audience speechless. So, why did Iron Mike walk out mid-interview? The reason is much simpler than it seems.

Iron Mike’s unpredictability

Near the halfway point of the talk, Tyson humbly asked the audience if he was allowed to use the washroom for a little break. Right after Tyson left, Patrick David noted to the audience members, “The element, for me, what I pick up from him every time I talk to him, he has this element of unpredictability.” He explained how you never know what Iron Mike is about to say next adding, that he has “a level of unpredictability like no other.”

During Tyson’s break, David was asked by a fan, what he thought about Mike’s killer instinct in business. David replied, “I think it’s a different approach. Mike’s not an operator”. David explained that according to him, Mike Tyson has achieved so much in life that he has people coming to him with opportunities; his role is that of creating a filtering system where he can figure out what he wants to do and with whom. A few minutes later, an apologetic Mike walked back in.

Mike Tyson’s battle with age

Iron Mike returned from the restroom, lamenting, “You know when you get older, you are like pissing all the time. You gotta go to this place where this guy is gonna put a finger up your a*s.. aww man I gotta see that guy again.” Mike was referring to a prostate exam that many men over 50 have to undergo periodically to ensure that they don’t develop cases of prostate cancer. He went on to add how his age has been causing problems for him.

Tyson also revealed his frustration over Doctors taking a blood test. While he is one of the greatest fighters to ever exist, it is clear that time spares no one. When asked, “How do you want to be remembered?” Mike stated simply, “Passing by.”

Tyson’s legacy remains untouchable. Having taken much damage throughout his boxing career, Tyson is now suffering from ailments. We hope the boxer continues to surprise us and maintain good health.
