One little kid learned that you never know what’s going to come out of Mike Tyson’s mouth during an interview. This Friday, the 58-year-old Tyson will face off against Jake Paul in one of the most anticipated fights of the year.
Ahead of the fight, Tyson made headlines due to the bizarre things he said. In one interview, Tyson said that he decided to unretire from boxing after getting high on toad venom and being told by God to fight Paul.
“You see a toad, you bust its puss, you put it on like a mirror, and it gets hard. You rub it down until it become fine sand, and then you smoke it. Then you meet God and this is what God told me to do,” Tyson told Rosie Perez during a recent interview.

Days before the fight, Tyson was interviewed by kid reporter JazzyWorldWide, and things took a turn when she asked him if he was worried about his legacy.
“I don’t believe in the word legacy, I just think that’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing it’s just some word everyone grabbed on to…It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through when I die it’s going to be over”
“We’re nothing we’re just dead, we’re dust, absoliutely nothing our legacy is nothing ”
While a stunned Jazzy reacted to his answer, Tyson continued talking about death and began cursing in front of her.
“What’s the audacity to want people to think about me while I’m gone, who the f— cares about me when I’m gone”
