Intercepting Joe in the middle, Tyson replied, “You Know, what you learn from me if anything. You learn adversity. Adversity makes the weak, weak and the strong, strong. I never um my head was bloody, but it was never bowed. I keep fighting, I just not gonna. I’m not gonna do that. I’m never gonna give up. That’s just not who I am that’s just not.”
