‘Baddest man on the planet’ Mike Tyson on turning sober
December 5th, 2010 - 3:49 pm ICT by ANILondon, Dec 5 (ANI): In an interview, former boxer Mike Tyson has revealed that his image has had an upgrade.
Rape, drugs, violence and bankruptcy were his entourage. But since retiring in 2006, the boxer has discovered a softer side, reports the Guardian.
When asked about money, he said: “I guess it’s all good. I live in a nice house, exclusive neighbourhood, but it’s all just insignificant stuff. I’m a vegan now: it’s been like eight months, and my life is just different. I don’t even recognise myself sometimes.”
He added: “My life is like a tornado, a hurricane. It’s like I’m a naked tornado that comes through town, and there’s just so much wreckage. There’s so much destruction. And when it’s finally over it’s like the morning after and you’re sober and - what the f*** happened here?” (ANI)
