Tyson was talking on his ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson‘ podcast, which was co-hosted by DJ Whoo Kid. Moreover, Tyson’s therapist, Sean McFarland was also present as a guest on the show. The trio was in a conversation about the uncertainty of life, and how wealth is deemed worthless once life is lost.

This was when Tyson pondered about his own transience. He said, “We are all going to die, one day, of course. When I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face and say, wow that’s my expiration date is coming close really soon.”
