Tyson was in an interview with Zab Judah of VladTV ahead of his fight with Roy Jones Jr. In conversation, Judah mentioned to Tyson that a successful man has an equally strong woman by his side. Tyson nodded in agreement, and said, “This is what I know about my wife. This is the only thing that I know about my wife. I don’t know who she’s sleeping with, who she can be with. But, I know this, that her whole existence is me and the kids. My other kids too. As long as I know that she can do whatever she wants.”
