Mike Tyson - Fact of Life:
My sixteen-year-old son recently expressed his desire to pursue a career as a professional boxer. However, I promptly discouraged him, stating, 'You have the privilege of attending private school and traveling the world, including visiting Europe. You have vast opportunities ahead.
Fighting individuals like myself, who have endured immense hardships, is not something I want for my children. Boxing is a challenging journey, requiring immense sacrifices, pain, and suffering. I've taken those blows so my children can have a brighter future. When I look at them, I see well-educated, middle-class individuals with the potential to achieve greatness. Boxing is about pushing beyond limits and dominating one's own fears, a pressure I refuse to put on them, instead, I want them to explore their passions and reach for the stars.'
