Mike Tyson recently claimed his mother in an interview, saying the claim helped shaped his life.
While speaking to the ShayShayClub, Tyson revealed to Shannon Sharpe that one of the best things that ever happened to him was the death of his mother, Lorna. Tyson gave the reasoning behind the statement saying, “Because my other would have made me babies. There's no way I would ever got into a street fight. No way I would ever learn to stand up for myself.”
Tyson revealed that his mother passed away when he was 16 from cancer, a few years before he stepped into the professional boxing realm. He then said even if his mother didn’t pass, he still would have encountered people who pushed him to defend himself. The former pro boxer went on to say, “It was ordained by God for me to deal with that. I don't navigate my life. You think I navigate my life to being the heavyweight champion? No, I don't do that. That's God.” Watch above.
