An interesting battle is about to begin on November 15. And it is a delight to watch two stars face off. However, before the matchup between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the veteran boxer hit the headlines with his shocking blunt response.
This response has now become viral, with many commenting on it. Even Travis Kelce’s former girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, shared this video clip on her official Instagram story. Along with it, she wrote a caption saying, “aye man (with crying emojis).” She was shattered and shocked at the same time after hearing what Mike Tyson said. But what was Tyson’s statement?
Well, the story started when Tyson was interviewed by 14-year-old social media personality Jazlyn Guerra. The little girl asked him, “What type of legacy would you like to leave behind when it is all said and done?” The legendary boxer said that he doesn’t believe in the word legacy.

In addition to that, Mike Tyson expressed in his heavy shaking voice, “I’m just passing through. I’ma die and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that? We’re nothing. We’re just dead. We’re just dust. We’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing. Who the f*ck cares about me when I’m gone?”
Tyson never fails to speak his mind. But this response was surely a dark answer to the legacy question. And hence, like others, the Chiefs‘s tight end’s former partner, Kayla Nicole was left in shambles, as many are now concerned over the 58-year-old’s health.

Mike Tyson admitted the fear of dying!
According to World Boxing News, before the matchup between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul, the 58YO opened up about his health scare during a Netflix documentary. He expressed, “I was training and I was doing great. Then all of a sudden I started feeling kind of tired and I was explaining to my trainer, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong with me.” But that’s not where he ended. He even gave a major scary update to his fans by saying, “Coming here from Miami on the plane I went to the bathroom, and I threw up blood. Next thing I know I’m on the floor and I was defecating tar.” Hence, he was taken to the hospital, and “they found out I had a big ulcer Two-and-a-half inches and it’s bleeding.”

Many of his friends even called saying that he was dying, but later when he himself asked the doctor, she informed that Tyson wasn’t dying. So, during that comeback promotion on Netflix, Mike Tyson admitted that he wanted to get out of the hospital bedroom at that moment, because “I want to fight and get back to training. I don’t want to die in a hospital bedroom. I want to die in the ring.” This remark has surely drawn concern on the legendary boxer’s health. And as Kayla Nicole works in prioritizing mental and physical health of herself and others, she too doesn’t want to see her favorite shattering like this.
