The youngest heavyweight champion of boxing, Mike Tyson, is significantly more than an elite pugilist. The 54-year-old veteran has been through several phases in his life, witnessing success and failure simultaneously, both inside and outside the ring.

That said, Tyson is no less than a philosopher. ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ has also shown extreme transformation in his behavior and is no longer the brashy superstar. Instead, Tyson is now a mature ambassador of the sport, who is still relevant in the mix.

He has his own podcast and while inviting umpteen celebrities, Mike Tyson often shares some valuable insights into his personal life.
