The answer to this only lies with Tyson himself as he certainly proved that father time has not yet fully caught up to him even at 56 years old.

How Tyson’s ego shaped him throughout his life

Tyson had a troubled childhood, which saw him use violence and anger from a very young age. However, Tyson’s mentor, Cus D’Amato, was able to channel this anger into boxing, turning Tyson into an unstoppable force. This led to Tyson developing a huge ego which was only fueled by the success he was seeing at such a young age.
