Mike Tyson spoke about Britney Spears’ conservatorship. ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ recently appeared on a podcast, ‘The Full Send Podcast’ hosted by the infamous YouTube group, the NELK boys. While on the podcast, Tyson revealed why he respects Britney Spears.

“Well, I’m glad that she’s getting her life back. She’s just an awesome girl. I used to hate that white pop sh*t too, but as a person, she’s a tiger man, I have so much respect for her as a person. I don’t even care about no songs, I’m talking about her as a person. F**k them songs, as a person.”

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson knows what it’s like to build yourself up when you’re down in life.

This is probably why he respects Britney Spears so much because he knows what it takes to want to get back one’s life. In all his years of boxing, he has had a lot of controversial and low moments. The thing about Tyson is that he never gives up. No matter what life throws at him, he always somehow manages to come back on top.

While Tyson has called out many active boxers and retired boxers, he will most likely fight Lennox Lewis, his former foe. Earlier this year, he publicly stated that he would fight ‘The Lion’ in September 2021. However, that bout is still in limbo even in October 2021.
