Mike Tyson, the legendary boxer, recently revealed a surprising reason for his renewed energy and motivation in his upcoming fight against Jake Paul. While many believe that Tyson’s comeback is driven by a desire to regain his former glory, the truth lies in a much more personal place.
A Shocking Revelation
Tyson is working hard to be ready for his upcoming fight against Jake Paul on November 15 on Netflix in what to many will be the biggest fight of the year. However the boxing legend revealed something that has left everyone surprised. During a promotional event for his collaboration with LF*GO Energy pouches, Tyson admitted that his previous professional boxing career was plagued by stress and anxiety. He confessed to never having had a chance to truly relax, enjoy his achievements, or simply be himself.
“When I was fighting professionally, I think I was just too stressed out. I never had a chance to relax, I never had a chance to be me and enjoy who I was. I never had a chance to enjoy my championships,” he said.
A Desire for Change
Tyson’s heartbreaking revelation highlights the toll that his demanding career took on his personal life. He explained that he was constantly bombarded with lawsuits, divorces, and other challenges that prevented him from experiencing genuine happiness. “Everything was coming at me, lawsuits here, divorces there, and I never really got a chance to enjoy myself as a human being,” he added, and this has been very touching for his fans and followers.
Now, retired from professional boxing and focusing on exhibition matches, Tyson is determined to make the most of this opportunity. He believes that he has developed better life skills and is finally able to embrace his true self.
“This is the moment of time I can be myself as a human being, I have better life skills than I had when I was fighting,” he also said as he continued his preparation for his fight, one that won’t be easy but could help change his career now after professionalism. Tyson’s fight against Jake Paul is not just about winning; it’s also about proving to himself and the world that he can thrive outside the intense pressure of professional boxing. This match could be a turning point in his career, allowing him to redefine his legacy and find fulfillment in a new chapter of his life.
