The Baddest Man on The Planet aka Mike Tyson has been one of the most controversial athletes of all time. He has been through many difficult phases his entire life. Tyson was a rage-filled wrecking ball in his prime, but the 56-year-old has turned into a calmer person now. However, he once shared some dark secrets about his life in a broadway show. 

The boxing legend once did a one-man show back in the day, which was named ‘Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth’. People were enthralled to see something different on Broadway rather than the singing-dancing acts. 

While talking to TODAY’s Ann Curry, Tyson said, “I’m pretty naked there…bare.” The show’s director Spike Lee was also present there, who insisted, “Not literally.”

Furthermore, the boxing champ continued, “I just threw up the white flag. There was too many prison cells, too many jails, too many lawsuits, too many bankruptcies, too many women, too many venereal diseases, too many everything. I got tired. I really got tired of, you know, like every time a prosti**te –- I would head back from a trip — I had to sleep with her. So I just said, ‘I’m going to live a different life.”
