The name Mike Tyson perhaps holds the most weight in the history of boxing. ‘Iron Mike,’ as he was known, is the perfect example of a great American success story. Fear, brutality, and ruthlessness were all synonymous with his name and personality back then. Now imagine someone like that made fun of in front of his wife and Michael Jackson’s son.
The difference between Mike today and the Mike who knocked out Larry Holmes in 1988 is stark, to say the least. Over the years, Mike has actively made changes in his life to create such improvements in his personality and image. It has also made him a gentler person and a brilliant father. And this is perfectly portrayed during an episode of Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson podcast.
