Mike Tyson‘s life is no less than a movie. The man became the most feared boxer of his time who dominated the sport of boxing and was not immune to his own conscience. Even though Tyson amassed fortunes and achievements many can only dream of, he lost all of it, falling prey to his actions. They say, “once a fighter, always a fighter.” This is a quote that epitomizes Tyson’s character and personality. The 56-year-old experienced a lot of struggles from an early age, and the struggles did not stop when he grew up. They just took different shapes and forms.

In a recent episode of his podcast, Hotboxin’, the former two-time Heavyweight champion talked about a personal loss and revealed the effects that incident had on him.
