The pair were discussing Tyson’s life after retirement, which led to Hart asking the former champ about the inception of his podcast.

Tyson responded by stating that one of his old team members suggested the idea after a video of him in a training session went viral,” I don’t know somebody from my old team they decided to put me until I said I think this is ridiculous and then some I don’t know I did an impression and got, half the planet saw it, first hitting the bag.” He told Hart.

He also added that this caused him sciatica pain caused by a herniated disc pressing on a nerve, “I caught sciatica from that and I was in bed for two weeks. I can’t believe three punches, four punches. I’m in the bed with sciatica.” He added.
