Mike Tyson is widely known as one of the most accomplished boxers of all time. Becoming the heavyweight champ at just 20, Tyson registered his name in the history books forever. But that just wasn’t one milestone he achieved. In the later years, ‘Iron’ Mike rolled out some fiery performances to pin himself as a heavyweight GOAT.
But with immense fame, attention, and accolades, athletes/celebrities tend to enter a different tangent of thoughts many times. That said, these thoughts either make a person better or make their life worse. To tackle that, many take up meditation as a mental exercise to calm themselves.
Consequently, Mike Tyson too followed a similar path, and he shared a unique experience pertaining to this matter.
