He is considered to be one of the greatest boxers in the world, but his out-of-the-world boxing prowess came at a cost.

In a recent episode of Hotboxin with Mike Tyson, UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett was invited as a guest. As the episode progressed, they were discussing at what time fighters start their training. When the question was asked to Tyson, he replied, “First thing in the morning, like 4 in the morning.”
