Mike Tyson has never been scared of an opponent in the boxing ring. He has faced many tough challengers and has handled them well. So when Tyson admitted that there was a fight he was losing, many were surprised. While at a press conference in New York, Tyson admitted that he was battling an addiction to drugs and alcohol. Tyson admitted the problem had gotten so serious that he is “on the verge of dying”.
Tyson did say, however, that he was six days clean which is definitely a step in the right direction. He vows to never use either substance again. Tyson is also trying to mend his relationship with former trainer Teddy Atlas. Tyson said, “I don’t want to fight you anymore. I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
