There have been many champions in the sport of boxing but when the name Mike Tyson comes into the front it recalls the fear, ruthlessness, and merciless strikes that once terrorized the ring. His name was enough in the heydays to create psychological trauma in the heads of the opponent. ‘Kid Dynamite’ produced this aura by smashing back-to-back heads in the ring.

He was a knockout machine who seemed unstoppable in the late 80s and early 90s. The youngest heavyweight champion ever is among those fighters who unified belts for the first time. He clinched 50 wins with a knockout ratio of 3.38 rounds.
Now when Tyson has hung up his gloves, he has got enough time to join podcasts and interviews. Through these platforms, the former two-time heavyweight champion is able to shed light on grey areas like what he feels knocking out people.
What did Mike Tyson say about knocking out his opponent?
Tyson made the disturbing revelation. According to him, it’s non-humanitarian to beat the hell out of another human being.
“It’s like drugs. Cause it gives you everything you want. But it takes back so much more in return. Everything your soul, your spirit. How do you think about it? I wanted to take people’s nose stick in their brain. How do you wanna do that if you’re a humanitarian? How do you wanna do that to another human being?”, Tyson said.
However, ‘Iron’ Mike is no more a man of controversy and fear. He is a 57-year-old gentleman who likes spending time with his wife Lakiha Spicer and kids. Along with that he runs a podcast and invests in his new venture Tyson 2.0, which has gained a lot of attention for its edibles.

This is the reason he backed his argument by saying, “Well that’s back then. But I just know I don’t wanna hurt anybody no more like that.”
