Boxing legend Mike Tyson has become a fan favorite on the internet since he started his own podcast ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’. Despite not being one of the smartest people in the world, Iron Mike certainly is one of the most learned people in talking about emotions.

Due to his harsh childhood and the fame that followed, the former heavyweight champion has gained vast knowledge and understanding of people and their emotions. Moreover, Tyson himself has seen a drastic change in maturity since his boxing days with him now being much more calm and stoic.

However, Iron Mike recently made some disturbing remarks where he compared love to a form of suicide. The former champion recently made an appearance on Angie Martinez’s podcast where he claimed that being in love with someone was equal to slowly killing yourself.

“Love from everybody from my perspective of it. Love is the most the slowest and the most direct form of suicide. Do you feel that when you’re in love sometimes? I’m just gonna die if they don’t they’re not interested in me or they start looking at me funny because I gain weight.” said Tyson

Tyson has been married to his third wife Kiki Tyson for almost 13 years. However, he still has some interesting takes on love and death, to say the least. This might be due to his experiences with love and past relationships. Despite the former champion now happily married, he had his share of problems with women during his time as a boxer. This resulted in him being married twice before tying the knot with Kiki in 2009.
