We regard Mike Tyson as a true combat sports legend who’s followed extensively by fans, media, and boxing purists. The former heavyweight king is one of the most happening individuals in the boxing space, and everyone loves surrounding themselves with ‘Iron’ Mike. However, something unusual took place recently, which eventually got an unexpected reaction from Tyson.

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ recently interacted with boxing, stalwart Mikey Garcia and his team. Here, an elite boxing journalist, Elie Seckbach, too, marked himself present, and he noted the conversations Tyson had with Garcia and his team members.

Garcia even brought in his chef, Frank, who is a big fan of Mike Tyson. Abruptly, Seckbach said, “Mike, let me introduce you, this is Frank – the cook. He’s Mikey Garcia’s chef. He’s your biggest fan on the planet. He says he can take your best punch.”

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ is the most humble guy around and he’s developed some terrific patience with time. However, if any journalist asked the same question to Mike Tyson of the 1980s, there might have been an intense reaction coming from him.

Mike Tyson hung up his gloves from the pro-boxing side in 2005, and since then he turned into a unique individual altogether.

For his life outside the ring and controversies, ‘Iron’ Mike became even more famous. That said, no one back then would have imagined Tyson changing himself to his current version.
