Boxing legend Mike Tyson has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. During his career, he was the most popular boxer on the planet, dominating the heavyweight division and seeing great success with it.

However, he would suffer a huge fall from grace after his retirement from boxing. Tyson dealt with a plethora of issues, including drug addiction, failed marriages, and other problems that eventually led him to rock bottom. Iron Mike recently gave his two cents on people who are in a similar phase in life.

In his podcast Hotboxin, he had some advice for people who have hit rock bottom. He stated that people who hit rock bottom have a very hard time coming out of it as they are trapped.

“The fact is there a lot of that Rock Bottom to destroy them. They never come back up, they stay down and suffocate, they put their own hand over their mouth and nose.” said Tyson.

However, he stated that the only way to beat this was to fight back, as life is a struggle. “You know this is about a fight man. Life is about struggle, with no struggle there’s no progress.” He added.
