How Mike Tyson Handled stress and fear before his fights

Professional boxing is no walk in the park. One has to put their health and at times life on the line to compete. Naturally, one may develop fear, anxiousness, and stress in the lead-up to a fight. Surprisingly, Tyson was no such exception. He once publicly stated that he too felt anxious during the walkouts of his bout. He states, “And that walk to the ring and the waiting around before you get into the ring is very daunting for any fighter. I can tell you myself,” as per talkSPORT. 

He then adds how he handled the same. He states, “Once the bell goes to fight, the fear leaves you because it’s time to fight. But the build-up, the walk to the cage or ring, it’s very, very emotional for a person because you have all sorts of thoughts going in your head.”
