“If somebody stepped on my feet I would totally tap out.” If only his opponents had known this 😂

😂 until the fear kicks in and turns on the monster in Tyson. He was ferocious, because losing was not an option.

@Jeremy James I think Mike Tyson was the World Heavyweight Champion for a while. There's always going to be a next Champion, that doesn't mean the previous Champion was no good. It means the new Champion is better than the previous Champion when the new Champion becomes the new Champion.

Achilles

Tyson fought a bunch of bums. We seen what happened to him when he fought world class fighters like Holyfield and Lewis.

He's being modest but have you seen him Jump Rope he could move!

When he said “plus she ripped somebody’s arm off” about a reason for getting rid of his tiger I died 😂

@Chugg apparently some chick jumped his fence to play with his tiger, and the tiger bit. Since she had trespassed she was gonna get no compensation, but he gave her 250k to fix her hand.

@RedStool me when i spread misinformation on the internet

I think the person who lost the arm Also died.

definitely the best part of the video lol

Just so casually mentioned it like oh yeah and that happened but that’s beside the point 😅

Man this guy has had it all through his life. Destitution, legal problems, drug problems, fame, fortune, success, trauma, tragedy, redemption, love, hate, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, enemies, arrogance, humility, thuggishness, class, the story of Mike Tyson can reach pretty much anyone at some level because of how human it is.

@Eddie McTigue yes, it is.

@PurpleChevron I didn't read the last part, sure I see your point.

Is “thugishness” even a word 😂💀

dont forget forget r*pe...

@Dr. Julian Bashir they do. That's the point.

Its always amazed me how someone so terrifying and capable of insane violence can be so sweet and jovial too. He's a fascinating person and I'm glad he's grown to be a pretty balanced father and husband. I don't excuse the bad things he's done, but its a pretty remarkable change of pace to what he once was. Iron Mike is a living legend!

@Gérard Brennen what does this even mean lol. Dangerous is better than harmless, and having control is better than not having it. One is just vastly superior to the other. I get the idea, but it falls apart when you think about it. Yes your right, but its not really a question. I think I'm thinking about this too much for a reply to a reply to a YouTube comment, but I think a better comparison would be saying "Its better to be harmless and have control over yourself than to be dangerous and have no control". That way it is comparing old Mike, who was a dangerous loose cannon, to new Mike who is sweet and wouldn't harm a fly, and has control over himself sorry for speaking too much lol

It’s better to be a dangerous person that has control over themselves than to be a harmless person that has no control over themselves.

It's not that surprising, violent or not he's still a person

wasn't sweet to the woman he raped

Probably because of mental health medication.

omg that was a blast! Mike Tyson is so much fun to listen to, I love this!

Mike now looks like a fun uncle that everyone would love

Cos he would bite your ear off if you didn’t

Until he gets frustrated and bites your ear off

TRUE VERY TRUE 👍

he probably is

like fr yall arent reading it correctly LOOKS LIKE HIS LOOKS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE

The punching "through the opponent" really works. I learned this through Chinese masters who teach how to generate chi energy to break things easy. I use it when I am chopping wood, i notice when i chop with the aim on the wood, i have to chop few times to snap them in half, but when I aim to chop through and aim beyond the wood, it usually splits open in one chop.

My dad told me that when I was like 8 but all right

@the world is burning not really

it really is just common knowledge mate. im not even a fighter and i know thats how you hit someone

@truesight91 bro stop making things up. This "chi" stuff could never been proven EVER in history. You're experiencing placebo. If this sh1t was real don't you think every pro fighter would use that? You're brainwashed and your confirmation bias is too strong to admit you're wrong. Merry christmas.

You realize tho that this whole "chi energy" is a complete scam right?

We love you Mike !

His ads for Holyfield's gummy ears are freaking hilarious!

7:30 “+ she ripped somebody arm off” 😂😂😂

I posted a question 6 years ago and never would have dreamt that the man himself would answer at 2:26! lol

Thats cool

Wtf

Lol.. that was actually my post.

Lol, imagine that probably the man himself gave you a thumbs up at one point.

Legend

I’m laughing so hard watching him answer these questions! He is hilarious what’s not to love about this legend ✨

https://youtu.be/e2h8M0BHQfc

"plus she ripped somebody's arm off" LOL!!

I was never really a boxing fan never mind a Tyson fan. Then one day I picked up a copy of his autobiography and was totally addicted to it. It's incredible to me that one person can have so much colour in his life! The unbelievable highs, the shocking lows, the unbelievable experiences that almost no other human will ever know. Thanks to him for sharing it all, I'm now a massive Tyson fan, so any years after he retired!

He was trying to get him to listen we don't need to be fighting we brothers 😂🙏🏽

One of the best souls in the world man

@%*!# YourFeelings jit trippin☠☠☠

If you think Mike Tyson has a good soul, you must be the Devil Himself. Mike Tyson is a piece of s***

@Muhd Faizie Allahu Akbar

Thats happen when u’re become closer to Allah

I've never heard that before, "If you had a mother, or a father I wouldn't eat you."

What a legend

@%*!# YourFeelings ?

Yer

Legendary piece of s***

I love Mike!

I don't think anyone who wasn't around in the 80's can truly appreciate how surreal it is watching this. This guy was pure terror.

People change bro get over it

Just watch the eyes of his opponents after Mike's first punches. It's fear.

Mike Tyson raped a girl.

Yeah he was awesum.

he was the satan incarnate

I was really glad to hear Mike talk about his wife. She sounds like she's an amazing woman and even when Mike had it bad in debt she stayed by his side. That's really fantastic.

They married in 2009. He went bankrupt in 2003. I believe he's referring to her keeping him out of financial troubles, not actually getting him out it. He was married to someone else at time of his financial struggles and bankruptcy.

this is a very heartwarming QnA session! I thought Mike was an aggressive person given that he has the violent nature but he sounds like a very nice guy!

I love how every time he talks about the ear incident he apologises such a great man

Mike Tyson's humility, self-deprecation, and sense of humor are so great. One of America's coolest people.

I love how humble Mike is now. As long as you dont be a jerk to him, he's so chill.

hes also high a lot, that helps keep him off the edge

For real. The only time I've seen him pissed off outside of the ring is when 3 guys stole his tiger a few years back

Watch his fights and interviews he is very humble, respectful to opponents and sportsmanship. Trash talk is just to hype the upcoming fights

@Caeden Emerald actually most rich people aren’t humble. Become arrogant. Know any rich people that hang around average joes. Doesn’t happen. Seen too many motivational BS that instills surround yourself with what you want blah blah blah. So rich only hang with rich cuz your vibe and aura is just gonna drag them down.

He learned he doesn't need to be violent or hyper aggressive or hold an ego. Most things in life aren't worth it is what he figured out. It's best to just chill and focus on the good stuff

“I’m not a violent person anymore” The guy on the plane: *That didn’t age well*

That's what love and plant medicines do.

@Chris L yes and no? He used an act of violence to defend his personal space. Nothing wrong with that.

Bah. That dude deserved wayyyyy worse than he got. Funny part is, he probably got off easier specifically *because* it was Mike Tyson. Someone less prominent in media/history would have likely done more damage. I know I would have! That guy was a piece of human garbage...the personification of everything wrong with society.

So defending your personal space is an act of violence?

That dude was literally asking for it. Lol

He's so chill and kind, you'd never think he was one of the most intimidating boxers of all time, man.

That’s the power of weed :)

I was just thinking that. As a kid, I was scared to death of Mike Tyson. He seemed like more than a mere human, but like an untamed, violent, rampaging beast that will destroy anyone and anything that crossed his path. He was scary.... and he beat some of his opponents before he even entered the ring because of how intimidating he was. Some of his opponents were scared to death of him before they even entered the ring with him. Now, to see him like this.... calm, chill, easygoing, funny, and nice... seems like a totally different person. Now I'd like to meet him some day.

The only celebrity/athlete whose interviews I could watch all day, he's so honest and real

I’d want to see Weird Al like to interview Mike cause their my two favorite celebrities

Dude, I love the person that Mike Tyson has become. It's a beautiful thing to see a man come to peace with the world around him and find his center. We don't even deserve him.

The huge comedic timing he had when explaining why he no longer has his pet tiger was amazing

​@VCGTdunker man guess i gotta intrude someone's property then get shot next time 🤓 most brilliant thing to I've ever read!!

​@VCGTdunker wow that makes sense doesn't it!! Trespass a property with dangerous animal inside it! Never thought about it, that's so genius, made me cry of the realization that I'm stupid!!💀💀

@john jones hmm...

@VCGTdunker Well, she was trespassing. If someone trespassed on my property and my animal attack them I would give my animal a medal and I'd probably finish the person off myself. Trespassers don't deserve Mercy.

@Zyzz Admirer watch a channel called truthunedited

Went down a YouTube rabbit hole of Mike Tyson in his prime and his life story. I feel like I should sincerely apologize for ever laughing at a meme making fun of him lol. What a legend! An absolute genius and incredibly skilled, disciplined athlete in the ring.

Thanks for this video. You're pretty down to earth after all you've been through in your life and the pressures of boxing and media. You are funny and honest. Cheers!

There's never been a boxer I enjoyed watching more than Mike Tyson. His incredible speed and power just made him so much fun to watch. I don't know if there will ever be another truly like him. I've been watching a lot of his old fights here on YouTube lately and he still amazes me.

"I'm truly sorry". His delivery reminds me of a kid caught taking cookies. Love this guy

There is a man who went through some really bad times and came out the other side as a better person. Full respect Mike. You are brilliant man....

@tracexCZ E it’s clear you aren’t the sharpest tool in the shed

@tracexCZ E The dude was headbutting him though, I watched it live. You can see the whole thing on tape.

@Step Bro He has no point. He just wants to hate Tyson and literally no admittance of fault or apology would be good enough for the dude. I wouldn't really waste my time with it. Not like it matters what he thinks anyway.

@tracexCZ E well Mike and Evander Holyfield are friends now, so obviously he apologized for it and was forgiven so whats your point?

I agree Biggun

You just gotta love mike

@%*!# YourFeelings tf you saying?

If you love pieces of s***, you got to love Mike

The more I see of mike tyson the more i love the guy. I dont like any pro sports but i did like boxing while he was in the ring and i still hope i can meet him one day

Right on Mike! I enjoyed how you honestly answered all those internet questions. It was very insightful and entertaining. Especially how you ended the video. Thanks for being the man you are in and out of the ring! 👍😎

This guy is basically this world's Kratos. He was a beast in his young age, and continues to be a beast but also a good person now in his old age.

He is such a different person now, love seeing this side of him.

That's because for a lot of people, not everyone, maturity and wisdom come with age, experience, and reflection. They live and they learn. Clearly this is what happened with Mike.

that's what weed'll do to you

@sk "Any guy would have done the same thing"? No. That's not an acceptable response to nagging. I realize he was in a different state at that time. But "any guy" would not have done the same thing. Get in a car and leave. Leave the house and just start walking to cool off. I understand being pushed to your limit with what you can handle (I teach high school!) And resorting to violence is not what any person would do.

Older + vegetarian (which btw I'm not in favour of)

Reminds me of Bill Kazmire

Always glad to see how Mike turned into a sweet human being. You can see he still got the power but now he became master of himself.

That was awesome. Mike is a legend and a true character. Love watching videos about his career. Truly one of the greats. I know he doesn’t think of himself as the GOAT, but that’s maybe the only thing I’d openly disagree with him about if we were face-to-face (haha).

We love Mike. Amazing humor. So fun to watch ..👍

I've been inspired by this Guy since I was 12 years old. God Bless the GOAT. ✝️🇺🇸

“I don’t eat anything that has a mother or father.” Orphans: *sweating profusely*

People who are really serious about martial arts usually start learning it not so they can fight some great boxer who is now retired and trying to live an ordinary life. They usually do it because they want to be safe. They want to get their lives in order. They want to beat their past selves. Not somebody else. If you're learning martial arts just so you can beat people up then you're a bully, plain and simple.

@ShadinXIV can't find Ronnie's comments anywhere but most black belts that I've met don't normally shout the fact that they are a black belt for all the world to hear. They normally are much more humble. Mainly because they have enough confidence in themselves that they don't need everyone to worship them. They know who they are and are confident in that knowledge. I'm not a black belt just sharing what I've experienced watching my sensei and my sensei's sensei.

LMFAOOOOOOOO

I'm not reading ANY of the comments yet. First.... I just want to guess... Some people thought you were somehow unaware of their origin and how they did at one time have them. I'm also going to assume that since there's currently 158 replies... there were offended people of all kinds.... Now I'm going to click "view 158 replies" and see what there is to see...

orphans have parents, its just their parents aren't around

I like Mike more and more everyday. Been rewatching some of his fights lately. Glad he is doing good.

We are witnessing a legend in this era. This dude is a living legend.

Absolutely love this guy. He's so candid and thankful.

As an older, longtime fan, it makes me very happy to see the Champ finally in a good place in his life. It's good to see him happy, or at the very least, content.

The fact that this man is still alive and is just living a chilled out life with his family is mind-blowing.

@Parker Mudsen most AA men in city don't expect to live to 20 sooooo

Frr

@Gordon Lekfors what i can point to when it comes to you mentioning bipolar disorder, its that its not the case, hes been taught how to switch on a "murderous intent" for his fights, he was not in fact taught how to switch it off... its the result of rigorous, unforgiving training given to a man at a young age to be an unfeeling killing machine in the ring without the necessary calculations as to what kind of harm it may bring to them down the line in their life.

@Jason Neri i wouldnt really say he took many hits to the head or ones strong enough to induce the brain damage necessary to get punch drunk... mainly since his fighting style was primarily defensive, fists close by the head at all times so that if he took a hit to the head, itd either be cushioned enough by his own gloves or forearms... what he did take alot of in comparison was body shots since his arms being so close to his head and ribs it leaves the abs pretty exposed

It's really great to see him like that. Really looks like a genuine and very cool man, I would love to meet him if I have the chance one day

He still has the energy and soul of a child ❤ 😂

I love how mike is just a big kid at heart, so genuine

I could listen to him tell stories about his life all day. Such an interesting character.

"and plus she ripped someone's arm off" lol I love that he threw that in the end like no big deal. Love Mike's trajectory as a human

Lol by far the greatest way to end the video

@Ferguson 😳😳 whaaaaat WOW

@Dan5163 Yeah but it's the womans fault for sneaking on the property and then aggravating the Tiger

best line and worth the wait !

@Chance Vance Yeah, but, the person was trespassing on his property.

Best by far... Is so good to see someone truly content and happy after going through so much. 👑

Mike Tyson is hilarious 😂 to have such a tragic background still retain a great since of humor.

Love this side of mike, so humble and honest, good stuff

He’s so humble for such a dangerous man

"I'm not violent unless you harass my kids or my wife" Yup understood Mike .. we will definitely be respecting them!

so does that mean he's gonna get violent on that guy who beat up his first wife--oh wait

So that's "Harrass Mike Tyson's wife" off my bucket list then.

X Crusader He seems sweet now, and I like him. But I couldn't resist making that joke lol y'all need to chill. He aint paying your bills. And X Crusader, sorry to tell you buddy but he did do an interview about it lol.

@Bell G get your facts straight

Yep, Giselle's not lying, guy sucks regarding women and forcing himself on them. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/mike-tyson-rap-sheet-1.308253

He's remarkably likeable in this interview. He seems to be in a happier place than when he was in his prime.

Mike has a really great sense of humor. Truly talented guy, not only in boxing.

Mike Tyson is one of the best sportsmen in his life time and controversially a nice guy if you meet him in real life as i have, not like the media portray him or when so-called fans try to wind him up. A true humble sportsman and a genuine guy, one of the treasures of boxing and a living legend .

I sure would like to meet Iron Mike some day when were in heaven

He is a muslim

The best ever. Mike is humble, but in his prime, not a man alive could beat him. God bless you Mike!

Handcrafted get get cause they’ed kick his feet lmao and then he’d tap out lol

Lee ludlow Art anyone who doesn’t agree with your comment should go watch Tyson vs ribalta, and then watch Tyson vs green. Tyson was a monster. He could beat anyone ever. Except Cassius clay. Or foreman. Or Liston. Maybe prime Lennox 96. And hf is the real deal I think he is mentally tougher than mike and his boxing iq is higher. Tyson has the greatest technique and skill ever seen, but hf has the power speed and ring iq to get in mikes head wear him out, and counter him. Hf was good. But I would still bet on prime Tyson.

@Rahul R Have you ever heard of Zlatan Ibrahimovic?

It’s spinal

Buster Douglas did...

I was really mad and didn't know what to do lol

The sweetest guy you could ever talk to! I love how he agrees with everybody! "Yeah, I probably shouldn't be living like this. Dug out somthing like $60 million dollars of debt! I probably should be broke. I don't know what happened?!?!" Fuckin love it!

What an awesome guy! Love to share a pitcher of beer with him. All the best to you Mike, huge respect!

It's so good to see Mike happy and enjoying life.

Mikes voice: *Innocent boy* Mike: *The embodiment of fear*

Yeah, when Desiree Washington was being raped by him, I'm willing to bet thats exactly what went through her 18-yr old mind.

Mike the embodiment of fear? More like the embodiment of a crackhead without any brain cells left.

All day!

@King Meliodas bc he is

Pretty much.

God bless this man. We love you for who you are, Iron Mike! ❤️❤️❤️

well done GQ and mike! Do more of these! But with EVERYONE! Actors, Captains of Industry, Directors, Writers, Cinematographers, scientists, politicians, criminals.

I love Mike Tyson, such a legend!

Absolute legend. What a humble, impressive guy.

Mike is deserving of respect. He's changed and grown as a person over the years and shows that you can be more than the product of your environment

Cap

Nice opinion, melt

@Ethanjames0303 yeah, he respectfully bit off someone's ear

Https://youtube.com/watch?v=2wKQdDPOxRc&feature=share 2pac gives respect to Farrakhan

I love the man Mike became. He found himself and is just awesome af to me.

Mike is a true example of what this world can do to a gentle soft talented warrior soul. Love to top five greatest heavyweight on this planet.

Mike still looks great. It sounds like he has a good diet and a very healthy life. His rage has subdued and he sounds at peace. I'm happy for him and appreciative of his career; he was extraordinary.

He's just all about being humble and having fun now. It's awesome 😎

"She got too old and I had to get rid of her. Her eyes and her hips got bad......Plus, she ripped somebody's arm off." Mike Tyson

@Jayson the Spasian nah the tiger was afraid about mike tyson attacking her so she wouldn’t provoke him

No my dude, he killed that tiger with bare hands.

@M not Soccer, it’s called Football, the real one, no that thing Americans play with their hands

Had me dying. Lol

@Nasir Uddin raylan givens? No wonder he “got rid” of the tiger.

Never I thought somebody like Tyson that I grew up with in front of the TV as a kid... that bloodthirsty monster will be cool and chilled guy like him now. This guy is a huge inspiration for me. A true legend, a true warrior... the real champion in my book.

Bruh hes so humble... even admit his past mistakes... hes seems like a great person 🫡

he seems like such a sweet guy its totally different than the perception ive had of him my whole life

I love this short. Hope he does more internet interviews.

I'm glad he's happy and living peacefully. He deserves his peace.

Same here.

I agree.

We all love this man because we relate to him.

Watching Mike fight with his unique style His eyes laser focused on his opponet, and his EXPLOSIVENESS We will never ever see a fighter like him It's amazing that he is still so concious, which as we all know boxers often get so many issues later in life

I love Mike he’s got a great sense of humor

This man is a national treasure.

Watching Mike at this stage in his life made my bad day a happy day. Really happy to see him doing well and no debt.

They didn't dared to call him to pay any debt. He's too strong to pay.

@Mr. Vargas well said!

He has a Scooby-Doo style cartoon now that's really funny. You should check it out, it's called Mike Tyson mysteries

@Mr. Vargas dogs go brrrrr

Man was pure terror back in the day everybody was afraid of him. I quess he realised that made him also lonely I think that's were he came to love animals because animals never judge you like people do.

Some days I wish we could see these amazing fighters vs each other in their prime, but it is so much better to not know. Just let them be the masters of their craft for that day and time.

I’ve always loved Mike Tyson, even when he was mischievous in his younger days. I always saw the good in him.

100% respect Mike Tyson, he is a true exemple in many ways!

Long live Iron Mike Tyson, you will be remembered as one of the greatest warriors in history, respect to you and all the great men of the savage science

Man I love seeing Mike happy. Makes me genuinely happy too

get at my new song I hope y'all fw me

@adrianoootje nah it's not bro

freak

Stockholm syndrome

You're a good man

I have got real respect and sympathy for this guy.

I never expected to get this type of Mike Tyson when I became an adult. He is so humble now and appears to have a beautiful soul

Greatest boxer of all time imho, he had speed, strength, technique and a great defense, D'Amato built the perfect boxing style for him, on top of that he has a great heart, love that guy and wish him the best. Don't juge him on his mistakes, everyone did mistakes but that doesn't change what he has in his heart.

This is great, thanks for doing this Mike Tyson.

I love this dude. He is a true inspiration for anyone who needs to change. If you haven’t checked out his podcast, Hotboxing, you need to. If you’re going through problems and are looking to change yourself, look to Mike. This dude was an absolute uncontrollable animal in his younger years, like myself. Now he’s the happy go lucky dope smoking grandpa that everyone loves. We can all change. And we all need to. We have all been damaged living in this world of lies and deceit.
