Mike Tyson, the renowned boxing champion, recently made news when he revealed his unusual wish to have a pet hyena. The revelation was made in an engrossing episode of his very famous podcast, Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, during which he spoke with ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith.

Given his previous ownership of three majestic Royal Bengal tigers, Tyson’s affinity for unusual animals is no new knowledge. Tyson revealed his desire to have a hyena as a pet when the subject of strange pets came up. Stephen A. Smith was at a loss for words, trying to make sense of the sudden announcement. Smith, a seasoned sports journalist for ESPN, joined Tyson on the podcast, which raised the conversation’s level of excitement.

Tyson expounded on his obsession with hyenas, recalling the day he drove his tiger pups in a Ferrari. “I wouldn’t mind having a hyena as a pet,” he said to Smith, who was in a state of shock. “I wish I could have one,” Smith answered with skepticism, wondering what kind of loyalty and affection hyenas could provide.

Unfazed by the criticism, Mike Tyson refuted Smith’s concerns by emphasizing the idea of training hyenas similar to how dogs are trained. He described seeing a guy play with them and ride on their backs in Africa, albeit he took measures like donning a muzzle because of their sharp fangs. Tyson asserts that hyenas may be domesticated to a certain extent.

The two went into much gore detail talking about the ways the animals of the wild devour their victims, sometimes without even killing them. “I watch it all the time,” Tyson stated. Smith, who was still having trouble understanding it, shook his head in shock and said, “You’re you. You are exceptional. Man, I don’t get it. I need to know where they are so I can turn around.”

Smith, an ESPN commentator known for speaking his mind, has got himself into trouble before. Most recently, he received criticism from NBA fans for comments he made regarding Nikola Jokic.

Tyson, who previously opened out about his feelings in a podcast session, expressed a desire to be in the spotlight in the boxing world once more. He admitted, “I simply always wanted to be a fighter. I miss the excitement and the attention that came with being a boxer. Being a warrior was all I wanted to accomplish in life; nothing else. It’s something I miss.”

Tyson recalled his moment during the Paul-Fury weigh-in at Saudi Arabia when he understood the importance of being the focus of attention. Mike Tyson and former four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr. matched up in 2020. The exhibition boxing match, which ended in a draw, was the most recent fight of the boxing legend.

Mike Tyson’s decision to have a pet hyena may seem some people as odd, yet it unmistakably represents his distinctive personality and love of the unexpected. The world anxiously anticipates Tyson’s next amazing accomplishment as he continues to pursue other endeavors outside of the boxing arena.
