Years ago, Mike Tyson added an interesting aspect to his life. He used his influence to start a podcast and interestingly enough, named it ‘HOTBOXIN,’ for obvious reasons. Fans familiar with the show get to listen to a very different side of Tyson. He’s a very philosophical person who reads a lot, and that is abundantly displayed in his interactions during the podcast.

Years have passed and his podcast has turned out to be a big hit. But until now, no one has asked what Angie Martinez, the renowned radio personality, asked Tyson in the latest episode as a guest.

“Do you like doing this podcast? Like, is this fun for you?” Martinez asked, while discussing with Tyson.

Tyson was not prepared to answer such a question.

He paused for a while and then said, “I don’t know. It’s a weird form of power. You know you can say talk your s**t, nobody can say nothing back to you. They try to cancel you nothing, no f**k you. I cancel you. It’s like a foreign sense of security. I can say, I could talk about anybody, even that f**k like armed guards here f**k you and this and that.”

Tyson definitely feels the podcast gives him the power to talk about various controversial topics. He is correct because he has a platform that allows him to reach millions of people who may or may not agree with him. In case a majority of them are offended, he feels there is a possibility his podcast could be cancelled.

Apart from running a podcast, what else is Mike Tyson doing now?

As of now, Tyson is not only a former two-time world champion but also a businessman. Earlier, this year he started a business venture which produces edibles called ‘Mike Bytes’. These edibles created a buzz in the USA because they were inspired by the time Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear of during about. In fact, the edible is shaped in the form of Holyfield’s ear.

Apart from this, Tyson tested himself in the world of acting. Notably, he has made cameo appearances in movies like ‘Hangover’.

Tyson is also available for exhibition bouts, as he stated on several talk shows. The most interesting exhibition bout would be with Jake Paul, who has vowed to make it a reality before the end of this year.
