Heavyweight great Mike Tyson is known for the brutal violence that he unleashed inside the boxing ring during his prime. However, he is much more than just a boxer. Aged 54, Tyson is nothing less than a philosopher.

He has been through several good and bad phases of life and has honed himself through various situations. That said, Mike Tyson believes in mediation to get hold of his mind and activity.

As he speaks openly about his life, Tyson recently revealed that he mediates quite often and opened up with his views on it.

In interaction with Saquan Barkley, Tyson said, “It’s just subconsciously visualizing. You mean I mean you focus on the issue, with every iota and your molecules and everything.”

He further opened up on his reaction towards meditating and revealed that he almost died in those mediation sessions.

Speaking on it, the former heavyweight champion added, “I pretty much die, when I am meditating and stuff,  I am like a borderline showman. I use plant and animal medicine, I won’t say I have been enlightened. But I have had divine feelings.”

Meanwhile, he seems attached to his beliefs as he shed opinion on the necessity of meditation. But he always remained a boxer first and even at the age of 54, Tyson still has the urge to lace up the gloves.
