How did meeting Muhammad Ali inspire Mike Tyson to become a fighter?
11, 12, 13, what happens next?
I get arrested, and I see Muhammad Ali come and visit the institution that I'm in. You said you were in jail, and Ali shows up? I'm 12 years old, and Ali comes in, and they showed the movie The Greatest first, so this is 77. And after the movie, the lights come on, and Ali comes in. And I see him, I said, wow, I want to be just like him. I don't know how it happened, the spirit hit me, boom, I want to be like him. And then I get transferred to this other facility, you know, for real bad kids. I met a gentleman there that was a boxer and he used to teach me how to box. So he took me to a great training named Customado and that's why I'm here. I respected Ali and I worshiped Ali. Yeah, this is the moment I knew I wanted to be a fighter.
I'm scared to death. I'm totally afraid. I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid of losing. I'm afraid of being humiliated. But I'm just totally confident. The closer I get to the ring, the more confidence I get. The closer, the more confidence I get. The closer, the more confidence I get. All during my training, I've been afraid of this man. I thought this man might be capable of beating me. I've dreamed of him beating me. But I always stayed afraid of him. But the closer I get to the ring, I'm more confident. Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god. No one can beat me.
That's all I needed. That's all I needed for him to do that, and it became personal with me. For me, anger was good. Anger was good because it was motivating. The more I could create an enemy, the more I wanted to go out and kill those guys.
During the fight, I'm supremely confident. I'm moving my head. He's throwing punches. I'm making a miss, and I'm countering. I'm hitting him to the body. I'm punching real hard. And I'm punching him, and I'm punching him. I know he's not able to take my punches. One, two, three punches. I'm throwing punches and punches. He goes down. He's out. I'm victorious. Mike Tyson, greatest fighter that ever lived.
Every time I go in that game and come out, I got a new scratch. It became personal with me. I'm the best ever. There's no one that can match me. I'm the most brutal and the most vicious and the most ruthless champion there's ever been.
They're gonna fear me. You have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle. You have to be him before you become him. You gotta be him before you become him. That's how it starts. You look at somebody, I wanna be like him. You don't say, hey, I'm a bad motherfucker. I wanna fight everybody out here. Nobody's gonna kick my ass. You see somebody and say, hey, I might wanna do that. Well, greatness is when you make your delusions your reality. Nothing's impossible for somebody who's gonna try. If you're gonna try, it's capable of being done.
But you'd fight Dyson Fury?
Yeah, I'd fight a lion if the price is right. My whole objective is your total surrender, your total domination. I'm going to destroy you.
That's why Rogan said when he watched you, you were intimidated. Your rage is a very unique rage.
Well, that's their fault to be intimidated. How you listen might scare you for something you work for. I respect a person who's willing to die for what he truly wants. Ali has the will to win like nobody that ever lived in boxing. He believes he projected to his opponent. Really look at how does Ali beat George Foreman? How does Ali beat Sonny Liston? How did he beat these guys? How did he even beat Joe Frazier? Fighting the way he fights. He beats them because he refused to lose. but we have to believe that we're divine, and that we learn from our experience, because confidence breeds success, and success breeds confidence. They go hand in hand. You have to know who you are first. You know, I know who I am.
People say I integrate all the time, you this, you that. Whatever they say, I know who I am. Without self-love, you're nothing. Because self-love is discipline. And discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it. I never wanted to be obscure. I was born in obscurity and I never wanted to deal with that again.
