Moreover, Tyson revealed what motivated him to workout again. “Iron Mike” likes to feed off criticism and channel that energy to achieve his goal.  He said, “See I am not like, you have to say, ‘Mike man you can’t, this is not going to working out, you can do it.’ ”

Tyson is a different animal. He needs more than motivation. He needs to be provoked! And to provoke him, the right person needs to say the wrong words.

“You big fat dumb ni***, get your s*** back, you dumb, fat, lazy mother f****.’ That’s what motivates me. The right person needs to tell it to me,” Tyson said.
