If there’s one boxer who’s witnessed life from a different vertical altogether, it’s undoubtedly Mike Tyson. Coming to the limelight in the early 1990s, Tyson became a superstar of the sport. In his prime, he stirred the boxing universe by crucifying opponents with his devastating knockout power. Also, even after retirement, Tyson, to date, can put his fans in a frenzy.
‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ often comes up with statements and comments that make him as a center of attraction.
Recently, Tyson, on his Twitter handle, shed some light on attaining immortal status. He wrote, “For immortal status, enthusiasm makes it happen.”

Mike Tyson rose to fame with his highlight like knockout power and quick finishes. He possessed a dominating personality, which helped him become a biggie in the sport in no time. Also, Tyson had a vibrant life outside the ring, which eventually kept the fans more intrigued about him.
That said, the sport of boxing, prior to him, never saw such a flamboyant star making statements all over the world. However, with tremendous fame and attention, Tyson surrounded himself with a fair share of controversies. He also went bankrupt in 2003.
Tyson’s life story is completely unusual and there’s hardly anyone in the fighting space who lived a life akin to him. Even today, ‘Iron’ Mike somehow stays relevant to the fight world with his podcasts, guest appearances, and other projects.
