In his fresh Hotboxin podcast, Tyson alongside the pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez, his coach Eddy Reynoso, and Henry Cejudo revealed a hilarious anecdote.

He said, “One day I was playing golf, and I turned into the ball. The thing (golf club) came out of my hand and boom on somebody’s car.”

Both Canelo and Tyson agreed that golf is an exciting yet tough sport. Tyson even asserted that you can hang out with your friends and enjoy the sport at once, and that’s what makes it amazing.

Despite Tyson having a vivid interest in various other sports, but his love for boxing prevails even today. At age 54, Tyson laced up the boxing gloves to compete with Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition bout. This in itself is proof of how much ‘Iron’ Mike values boxing in his life.

His bout with ‘Captain Hook’ accrued a massive 1.6 million PPV buys, making it one of the best events in boxing history. Moreover, Tyson might lace up the boxing gloves once again to roll out an enigmatic show for the fans.
