Mike Tyson has faced several ups and downs throughout his life, which have been well documented. As such, he recently revealed that death of his 4-year-old daughter was the lowest point of his life. Exodus Tyson died in 2009 after a home accident involving a treadmill cord. Her mom, who was in a different room at the time, called 911 and tried to save her, but despite her best efforts, Exodus was pronounced dead. The Tyson family was heartbroken. Tyson was in Las Vegas when it happened, but he flew back to Phoenix as soon as he heard the news.
He discussed the tragedy on the latest episode of his podcast, Hotboxin with Mike Tyson. During the podcast, the famous rapper Rick Ross appeared as a special guest. They spoke about ‘nadir’, which refers to the lowest point. Subsequently, this prompted Ross to ask the former champion what his most difficult moment in his life was.

The co-host then asked the former champion how he recovered from such a tragedy. Tyson revealed that you don’t get over things like this, but you learn to live with them. Ross then responded by complimenting Tyson’s approach to the tragedy.

In an exhibition boxing match, Tyson will face social media sensation and celebrity boxer Jake Paul. The game will be held on July 20th, 2024, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Furthermore, it is going to be the first live Netflix boxing event.
The age difference between Paul, who is only 27 years old, and Tyson, who is 57 years old, has been a topic of debate. However, Tyson is confident that his age will not hold him back. In a recent video posted to the social media platform X, Tyson showed off some of his training with a menacing message to Paul.
