Mike Tyson Explains Why He Never Kills Anything Anymore

As a young boxer in the late 1980s, Mike Tyson was a nightmare for most other boxers. He instilled a sense of fear in the minds of his opponents right from the get-go. This fear stemmed from the fact that he stepped into the ring with a dark determination to hurt the man in the opposite corner.
Tyson’s ferociousness, vicious knockout power, and unconventional movement set him apart from the rest of the division.
Mike Tyson is not in his prime anymore. However, as fans saw in the Roy Jones Jr fight, he still fights better than most his age. The 55-year-old is now deeply in touch with spirituality and is determined to learn from his past experiences.

“So I never kill anything anymore,” said Mike Tyson.
