He further elaborated, saying, “You know like many times in my life, people believe that hey, I’m going to confront Mike Tyson. And I’m gonna let the world know that I’m not scared of him with that mentality. I’m from this world and I’m going to confront that big, strong guy who thinks he’s a bully. And they got f*cked up.”
Moreover, Tyson added the people ended up in the hospital because they were ignorant that bad things happen. Additionally, Tyson also mentioned that bad things happen because people are misinformed about life. According to Tyson, misinformation is the root cause of suffering, and it would behoove people to be informed instead of being impetuous.
