So picture this: Mike Tyson, the boxing legend, is being interviewed by a little child. And what does he have to say? Well, he drops a bombshell that nobody saw coming. He nonchalantly says his legacy is nothing and that he’s just passing through and nothing will matter when he’s dead and gone.
Now, let’s break that down for a second. This is Mike Tyson we’re talking about. This guy is the definition of a legend. He’s got a record-breaking career, a list of knockouts that could intimidate anyone and a name that strikes fear into the hearts of his opponents. But here he is, standing with a child, and shrugging off his greatness.
To some fans, Mike was too brutal with the interview about legacy with the child.
For better or worse, Mike Tyson’s cross-generational bout with Jake Paul is exposing the former heavyweight champion to younger audiences.
Take this week’s exchange with 14-year-old interviewer Jazzy, who asked the 58-year-old Tyson about his legacy.
‘What do I care about my legacy?’ responded Tyson, whose past is complicated by drug abuse, financial ruin, and his 1992 rape conviction, among other things. ‘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.’
Tyson wasn’t finished with his lesson.
‘Who cares what somebody is going to think about me when I’m dead?’ he asked. ‘We don’t talk about Charles Manson. No one cares about nobody when they’re dead and gone.
‘I’m just passing through,’ he continued ‘I’ma die and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?
‘We’re nothing. We’re just dead. We’re just dust. We’re absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.’
To her credit, Jazzy remained upbeat after learning that humanity is ‘nothing.’
‘Thank you so much for sharing that,’ she said. ‘That is something I’ve not heard as an answer.’
Again, Tyson was not finished.
‘Can you really imagine somebody saying: ‘I really want my legacy to be this way when I’m’ — you’re dead … Who the f*** cares about me when I’m gone?’ Tyson asked.
But hey, that’s Mike Tyson for you. Always keeping us on our toes, always surprising us. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if he ever elaborates on his unconventional views. Until then, let’s just appreciate the fact that we got to witness the enigma that is Mike Tyson in action.
