Mike Tyson is one of the most prominent and active boxing personalities today. He left the sport almost two decades ago, but he’s retained, and in fact, increased his fanbase to a gigantic extent with his podcast.

He keeps boxing lovers entertained with his Hotboxin’ podcast, wherein he brings in celebrities from many verticals. Recently, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ brought in the former UFC lightweight champ, Khabib Nurmagomedov, on his podcast.

This episode did exuberantly well in terms of viewership, and it accrued significant attention from one and all.
