Imagining Mike Tyson to be anything but a raw, all-conquering beast who works day and night is difficult. Since he entered the world even before he was 20 years of age, the man carried a terrifying aura that few could ever replicate, even if they tried. But Tyson recently revealed something that average humans would suffer deeply without.

This happened when Mike Tyson hosted Bill Maher on his podcast. Tyson and Maher talked about why people needed companionship. Maher joked that people didn’t want to wake up alone. Though Maher’s statement had some validity, Tyson gave his personal experience. Tyson responded, and the studio producers roared in laughter. This is what Tyson said:

I can't wake up period, I'm always up.

Mike Tyson must have said it for comedy purposes, but a man like Tyson could scare anyone with that dialogue. Nevertheless, Tyson has kept himself active by doing podcast appearances and training. He has various businesses to look after as well. Even in his 50s, Tyson remains physically active.

In 2020, Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. inside the boxing ring. The legendary boxer did pretty well against Jones Jr. Hence, Tyson might not require sleep at the moment, but no one can predict if one day it would affect Tyson’s life negatively. Nevertheless, Bill Maher questioned Tyson about his lack of sleep.

Tyson did not hold back while responding. He candidly told Maher what he did during the sleepless hours. Tyson replied he masturbated, and the whole studio started laughing again. Usually, out of fear and respect, people would not question Tyson. However, Bill Maher did not see it that way, and he spoke what he felt. Some would say it was nice to see Tyson getting pressed like that.
