Mike Tyson, once the heavyweight world champion, was doomed into controversies several times in his career. He had to fight his way through the tough days to reach where he is at today. Even today, he never hesitates in talking about his past.

Coming off from a troubled childhood, Tyson became a global sensation within the early days of his boxing ride. He became the youngest heavyweight champion ever and earned global fame alongside riches.

However, he lost all of it later and had a battle within himself to revive his name in front of the fans. That said, 54-year-old Mike Tyson opened up on facing so many adversaries in his life.

In his recent podcast, ‘Iron’ Mike revealed how he learned from his mistakes and transformed himself into an even stronger person.

“In many occasions that had happened and then I had to learn from that and prevent it from happening again because like you mentioned adversity and the only thing adversity do is make the weak weaker and the strong stronger And I decided to be on the stronger side of the adversity,” said Tyson.

Tyson continued, “I never gonna not accomplish what I want to accomplish. You know why because I am willing to die to accomplish what I want to accomplish. My life means nothing. Maybe it’s my ego for fame. And what it is, but that’s the only thing that matters.”

‘Iron Mike’ seems to have maintained this even after his retirement.
