'That's the reason why I'm crying, 'cause I'm not that person no more'

Mike Tyson shed tears during a recent episode of his podcast, revealing he's struggling to find purpose in retirement. "I know the art of fighting. I know the art of war.

Many people struggle with retirement. It's sad that the time he's supposed to be enjoying and relaxing without the hassles of the public eye he can't seem to do. I hope he finds peace with his podcast and boxing as a workout.

Tyson has had and likely still has mental health issues. That is and has always been his biggest problem.



Well.. That and the fact that mental health issues can be fed by money.. And he had a whole bunch of that, too.

Professional Boxing is brutal. Not just during your actual career but after you peak. . . even if you make it to the top! The last I heard one of the Title holders in the Heavyweight division was doing janitorial work in columbus, Nebraska. Not that janitorial work isn't an honest living but ya gotta admit after being Heavyweight champion of the World????

He also has a lot of opportunities if he wants to create his own team whether it be boxing or MMA. So he has a lot of opportunities.

He should be able to use his celebrity somehow going around and speaking to/helping youth. Give his life purpose. There should be some sort of lessons he's learned along the way that can help others.
