Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has slowly become famous for his insightful opinions on different aspects of life. The former heavyweight champion of the world has spoken about his change in ways. However, he has now revealed what it takes to be part of his entourage.

Tyson became famous for his unique habits throughout his career. One such habit was his lack of an entourage during his walkouts. Tyson would always walk out with only his trainer, and fans may now have an answer as to why ‘Iron Mike’ did that.

The 50-6 boxer spoke to Terrell Owens on an episode of ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson’. He said, “I’m talking about anybody that has a purpose.” Tyson then added, “If people in your life and they don’t have a purpose, what the f*** they in your life for?”

This comment from the former world champion showed how much he thinks about those with who he surrounds himself. He then explained why one needs to be so careful, “The weak don’t learn from the strong. The weak steal from the strong.”

Why is Mike Tyson talking about the importance of the correct entourage?

These comments from ‘Iron Mike’ showed how much importance he gives to his entourage. But why is Tyson stressing on these aspects?

Tyson became a heavyweight champion at 20, which is still the youngest in the sport’s history. Consequently, fame and superstardom followed. However, this also brought a load of unwanted attention at a young age for the champion.

‘Iron Mike’ had his controversies throughout his career and even spent time in jail. He lived a lavish lifestyle and became known for his activities outside the ring as well. Thus, based on his comments, it could be a case of him regretting the absence of a genuine person to guide him in his career.
