Mike Tyson, the heavyweight boxing legend, is currently preparing for a professional boxing match at the age of 58. As such, he is scheduled to face Jake Paul, an opponent who is over 30 years younger than him. In the lead-up to their highly anticipated clash, Mike Tyson made headlines for giving puzzling answers during an interview with a kid reporter.

Ahead of his high-profile fight against Jake Paul, the legendary Mike Tyson had an awkward interview with a 13-year-old reporter named Jazzy. The young reporter aimed to inquire about Tyson’s current mindset as he prepared for the fight, as well as his legacy in the sport of boxing. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn shortly after that.

What do I care about my legacy? I never knew what a legacy was, and people started throwing that word around so loosely. A legacy sounds like ego to me. I’m going to be dead soon… We’re nothing. We’re just dead. We’re just dust. We’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.

Despite having an illustrious boxing career, Tyson also has a controversial past. As such, the boxing legend experienced a dark chapter marked by drug use and the abuse of intoxicating substances. Additionally, he spent several years in prison, where he faced numerous struggles. Given his tumultuous history, ‘Iron Mike’ may not focus much on his legacy.
