Over the years, Mike Tyson has turned himself into a wise sage of wisdom. Unlike his glory days when the smallest things could set him off, he has taken a calmer approach to life. It has allowed the former heavyweight champion to look at life from a different perspective. In a similar situation, the former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ refused to call his guest a king because of one of his philosophical beliefs. 

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson has been hosting his popular podcast, Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, on YouTube and Spotify for years now. However, he has seemingly decided to cut the cord to focus on other business endeavors. So, as a farewell episode, Tyson invited Nicky Jam to his podcast, where the incident transpired.

Mike Tyson claims Jam is passing through just like everyone else

After Tyson suggested, “If you say n****, everybody black boy [will say], ‘Oh my s**t, he’s a racist,” Tyson’s co-host, DJ Who Kid, claimed Jam can’t call himself that because he is a king. To this, Mike quickly erupted and asked, “King of what,” while refusing to call not just Jam a king but anyone else for that matter.

The former heavyweight champion of the world then proceeded to elaborate on his statement, claiming Jam is no different from everyone else. “King of nothing! He just passing through, just like the rest of us,” said Tyson. However, Jam took Tyson’s statement lightly as he joked it off. “He’s a king, but he’s stopping at the doughnut shop,” said Jam.

If the 27-year-old Paul defeats Mike Tyson, who will be 58 when they fight on July 20, people will highlight Tyson’s age. And if Paul loses, he will mocked for losing despite having a 31-year age gap. 

While appearing in his The Big Podcast, O’Neal said, “If you’re Jake Paul, do you feel good about beating a 57-year-old Mike Tyson?” Confident about Paul’s ability to beat Tyson, he further added, “I’m just saying, if Jake Paul does happen to win, does he really feel good about beating a 57-year-old? I would feel s*****. I really would.”
