It’s been four years since Mike Tyson‘s eponymous podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson uploaded its first episode. Nearly a million subscribers enjoy the witty conversations between Tyson, his co-hosts, and their guests. They often get a glimpse of the trials and tribulations the world’s youngest Heavyweight boxing champion had to go through. Likewise, they get to know each guest’s journey to reach their destination. No wonder fans and followers look forward to the upcoming episodes.

The last decade of the twentieth and the first of the present was immensely tiring for ‘Iron’ Mike. From serving a jail sentence to financial bankruptcy and personal tragedies, one after the other, hardship marred his life. But his tests drew to a close with his marriage to his long-time girlfriend, Lakiha Spicer, in 2009. Now a proud father to Milan and Morocco, Tyson began new innings in entrepreneurship and entertainment.

When boards hit back…

The reason fans love his show so much could be his personal touch. The way he reaches out to each guest, the kind of discussions they hold and the candid moments make each episode memorable. Take, for instance, the episode when legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk joined Tyson and the co-host Sebastian Joseph-Day. Of course, it’s been over three months since that episode came. But, the engaging talks between the three undoubtedly attracted more than 200k views.

But what most fans and followers may not have forgotten would be when Mike Tyson tries to get over a skateboard Hawk brought. Barely had he stepped on it, Tyson lost his balance and fell backward. Thankfully he landed on his cushioned chair safely. By the end of the sequence, everyone in the studio, including ‘Iron’ Mike, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
