As the episode progressed, Tyson asked Ngannou about his GOAT animal. Ngannou considered a lion as the GOAT of animals. Furthermore, Francis Ngannou said, “they can sleep all day long, but when they go to strike, they strike.”  Subsequently, Tyson replied, “A lion’s more of a pimp mentality.” In addition, Tyson said Lion’s ideology was to sit and not do any work because it doesn’t have to.

A lion has natural predatory abilities that make it superior to most animals. Similarly, Tyson stated that he considered the tiger to be the GOAT animal. Tyson spoke about the relationship he had with his tigers when he was younger. Tyson also explained that pigeons aren’t his favorite animal because he saw them as his babies rather than animals.

Subsequently, Shakur would often come to visit him, and they grew closer during this period. Whenever he would visit, the inmates who adored him would greet Shakur with applause of respect. After his release from prison, Tyson continued his boxing career, and people would often spot Shakur at his events. Similarly, Shakur came to witness the fight night event between Mike Tyson and Bruce Sheldon on September 13, 1996.
