Enormous heavyweight boxers came and went, but no one could match the captivating aura of Mike Tyson. Right from his first boxing outing in 1985, until today, ‘Iron’ Mike has remained a top-tier name in the sport.

He lured fans for his in-ring and outside the game activities as well. Back in the retro boxing era, Tyson became an animated star of the sport, who put his opponents to sleep with extreme confidence.

In a fresh podcast with Hotboxin, the 54-year-old revealed how confidence plays a part in an individual’s life and success.

“Confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence. Confidence is supplied properly super senior genius. There’s nothing like confidence. It’s almost like magic. You can’t even see confidence. Can you see it? You can’t even see it in the person, it comes across as being braggadocios.”

“You can feel it, you just can’t convey it. It’s so difficult to convey it,” said Tyson.

Tyson believes confidence isn’t really visible in a person, but that ultimately drives them towards attaining their prime aim.

He even admitted that people often term confident individuals as arrogant. But, as there’s a thin line between high confidence and an arrogant attitude, whoever catches the right chord between these traces a long pathway for success.
