Former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, was once at the pinnacle of boxing’s very own Mt. Olympus, as the immortal demigod of his division. However, the older Tyson is a more mellow individual who is often seen pondering about the multiple fallacies and uncertainties of life. And one of the major topics of these unceasing contemplations is Tyson’s very own mortality. As a matter of fact, the latest episode of his podcast saw Tyson – once again- talking about death and dying.

Tyson was hosting the newest episode of his ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson’ podcast. Meanwhile, NFL star and the defensive end for the Los Angeles Chargers, Sebastian Joseph-Day, was the co-host for the episode.

Moreover, rapper and songwriter, Cordae was also present as a guest on the podcast. It should be mentioned that Cordae is tennis player Naomi Osaka’s girlfriend.

Mike Tyson and the rhetoric of death

Tyson, Cordae, and Joseph-Day were having a passionate conversation about god and spirituality. This was when Tyson expressed his doubts about holy books and religious texts. And revealed that he was unsure how the same could be used to define god.

He then went on to delve into when humans could actually experience a higher power. Tyson said, “I think when, that little rocket. When we leave the earth. And we look back at the earth, that’s god. The earth is god. This is god.”

Giving emphasis on death, ‘Iron’ Mike further added, “We’re just insects. We have a season. Like the plants that have a season. Then we go back to the dirt. That’s just what it is. Life is just a beautiful process of dying.”

He also mentioned that death was not something to be afraid of. As it is a natural process that every individual has to go through.
