Pray For Jake Paul: Mike Tyson Says His Second Personality "Iron Mike" Has Returned And He's Feeling Homicidal
“I’m always careful when that guy comes out. Every time I drink or get ready to fight and Iron Mike returns, I break out in handcuffs. Unfortunately, I have to fight and be that guy. I wish I could stop that guy. That guy haunts me. I wish I could stop that guy. I wish that guy died, but he’s here again”.
Mike fucking Tyson. Just because he's America's sweetheart now does not mean he's still not the baddest dude to ever do it. It's actually insane the character arc Mike Tyson has had because if you went into a coma in the early 90's and woke up now and found out Mike Tyson is a comedic actor who shows up to Comedy Central Roasts to bust balls, you'd think you woke up in an alternate universe. But here's the thing- that's Mike Tyson. NOT Iron Mike. Iron Mike is a complete different person. And Iron Mike is either going to kill or be killed.
I get it's all in the fight game, promotion is promotion, blah blah blah. But if ONE person in history has walked the walk after talking the talk, that one person is Iron Mike. He obviously understands the promotional side to the boxing game, but he also wants to kill Jake Paul in that ring. He wants to land a right hook and launch his head into orbit. And I'm very here for all of that.
The fight is still a couple weeks away and I'm hooked. They got me. Hopefully it's a real fight, because man, we all know these gimmick fights often disappoint. But I don't think Tyson got into this sort of shape to dance around the ring. Gimme Iron Mike by KO.
