mike tyson wants the biggest fight of his life he opened up about some demons that he's been facing i have to be the beast i have to be the savage insane and out of control i'm a god no one could beat me something inside tyson may have changed i was angry and i was looking for revenge baddest man on the planet why do you have to talk like that you're irritating me right now i don't know i've been bullied all the time um his life was very very sad that's when he met the famous trainer
customato the first man in his life who gave him hope from that point on he adopted me he died in 1985. i didn't know where to go from there he was on coke all the whole time i'm an extreme kind of person don't bother me because i'm gonna kill you you cannot control his temper and that's frightening you're scared you got man enough to [ __ ] with me they destroyed the greatest fighter i've ever seen i didn't really care because i was totally insane at that moment why did you do it i was really
disturbed back then how are you a different man than you were then i was abused anyway a human being can be abused as a kid so um i don't know i've been bullied all the time um it had a profound effect on me i liked pigeons so i took a lot of my money and i bought some pigeons and one day these guys still trying to steal my opinions i was trying to chase no no give me my birds and we're gonna see a bunch of birdbath and he just took the bird popped the net
and threw him on the floor that's the first time i've had a fight i won after that all the kids would bring other kids from different neighborhoods than they would pay us to fight each other i started getting into a lot of trouble by the time i was 12 i was arrested probably 40 times eventually they sent me upstate the juvenile center [Music] that's when he met the famous trainer motto and they said you have too much talent you're a good kid but if you go back to brooklyn you only got to get yourself in
trouble from that point on he adopted me i changed my whole life he broke me down and rebuild me i was just like a total different person you know even though he is my manager and trainer sometimes i forget that because of the way we are it's like a father-son relationship i can't say honestly i have a very steep affection for him i do if he weren't here i probably wouldn't be alive the fact that he is here and doing what he's doing and doing as well as he's doing and improving as he has gives
me the motivation and interest to stay alive [Music] he died in 1985 the first man in his life who gave him hope i didn't know where to go from there i just felt naked to the world i just felt like a very vulnerable young boy and i was just saying i don't have my friend no more i don't understand how you cover my life and then left and then here i am i don't understand that to this day what the hell is this guy what was this all about you miss him how did you know
i was the one the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world [Applause] i was angry and i was looking for revenge he was basically a bully in the ring insane and out of control crushing right hand i lost that belief in myself once cuss died i just lost that i just lost that when i lost my my mentor i lost my friends all that stuff died when they died tyson reverted back to what he thought he was at heart which was just like this dirty ghetto person i'm totally afraid i'm afraid of everything i'm afraid of
losing i'm afraid of being humiliated but i'm totally confident closer i get to ring the more confidence i get once i'm in the ring i'm a god no one can beat me you're scared you've got man enough to [ __ ] with me mike tyson's name synonymous with outrageous excess he was on coke all the whole time dollars impetuous my defense is impregnable and i'm just ferocious i want your heart i want to eat your children look at you scared now you hurt scared like a little white fool scared of the real man what i
found out in life as life goes on life is about losing former heavyweight champ mike tyson's four-year-old daughter died last night one day after she was found with her neck caught in a treadmill cord all the emotion he hides on stage came gushing out as he told me about the death of his four-year-old daughter a day that not only left him shattered but also out of his mind this is my best thinking at the time get my gun automatic just like this and you just go crazy who are you gonna who are you gonna hurt
regardless that's just my first thought but when i went to the hospital the people that were there they're up there because their kids are dead too mm-hmm are about to die [Music] so who the hell am i thinking of dying too um [Music] my whole life lives was off my ego so i had a megalomaniac with a low self-esteem my mission was just to destroy everyone and that was just my goal that's what i learned from because that's all i knew and i never experienced that my love was hurting people the more people i hurt
the more love i receive [Music] it's just for the time in my life i grew up and lived that life and i received love and i saw the love done just like i wasn't fighting to be the best fighter i wanted to be the best father and the best husband i could totally become guys from the past have no longer projected anything kindly to my future i had to be a different person i want to stay out here i want to see my kids grow i want to be a better person in life i don't
like the person who i become i just want to be a decent human being which i know i can be we have to understand we're stronger than we anticipate that we are we're a lot stronger than we believe we are believing in yourself you can overcome the most darkest moments i can't make up for the past of course but i just want to have a healthy future you
