Owing to his share of controversies, the American athlete served about 3 years in prison, after he was convicted for a case in 1992.  Talking to Shannon Sharpe in 2022, Tyson unveiled his training drills while in lock-up. “Got up early, but they allowed me to work out. I could run wherever I wanted to run. I was able to eat any kind of food I wanted,” he revealed.

He continued, “listen, that was the best three years of my life, really. I had a really awesome time in prison.” Ironically, his time in prison served as a boon for him since he landed one of the greatest pro comebacks. Concluding his career in 2005, Tyson retired with a 50-6 record.
