Boxing legend Mike Tyson isn’t scared of a lot of things. On the contrary, the former heavyweight champion was notorious for striking terror in his opponents, making him one of the most fearsome boxers ever. However, even Tyson fears one place that seemingly scares the daylight out of him.

In an episode of his podcast, Hotboxin, Tyson revealed that his mind was the scariest place he’s encountered. He stated that he needed to positively re-enforce his mind when negative thoughts pop up in his head. “Sometimes I see somebody and I say I don’t like that motherf***r and I say but they have a good heart. They’re beautiful, though it’s just anything negative that comes in my head. I say two or three things positive.” Said Tyson.

Moreover, he added that his head was a dangerous place that he needed to control. “My head is such a dangerous neighborhood to go in.” He added.

Mike Tyson gets a gun pulled on him in a comedy show

Iron Mike recently had a not-so-pleasant experience at a comedy club in Hollywood. Tyson was approached by a man who reportedly pulled a gun on him while he was enjoying the show with his friends. According to TMZ, the man even challenged the former heavyweight champion to a fight and pulled a gun after the host requested him to leave.

However, the man would make a wise choice and put the gun away and even asked Tyson not to call the cops on him. Iron Mike then had a chat with the gunman and embraced him with a hug. Moreover, the police never received any call about the incident suggesting that the issue was solved right then. Tyson is a native of Brooklyn and grew up in a neighborhood filled with violence. Thus, it was no surprise he remained calm and composed during this altercation.
