Just as astonishing as Buster Douglas thrashed Mike Tyson twenty years back to become heavyweight champion, Tyson has started another career. Now 44-year-old Tyson will head the International Boxing Hall of Fame and Museum, which is going to be held in Canastota,
New York, USA.
Tim Dahlberg, who has been working as national sports columnist in The Associated Press has expressed his moments he spent while taking an interview of Mike Tyson’s fascinating life. Mike Tyson expressed quite openly about his disheartened past and his current
status. When he was young, the idea of destroying himself was always part of his life but he is extremely obliged that life has brought him to this stage, Tyson said.
Whatever he has achieved is quite different from what he was trying to lead his life to. “I spent years to enclose, expose and shelter his life,” Dahlberg said. “Tyson might be in jail, on the streets, in isolation or he would be nursing pigeons somewhere
by this time,” Dahlberg added.
In fact, he figured that he would be deceased. Attempt in a band club, shot by an envious husband and captured possibly when overdosed on cocaine. He could be no more above ground, sooner than he faced up to middle age. Dahlberg was also convinced that Tyson
would destroy himself very soon.
He is one of the twelve fortunate boxers who have been elected for the International Boxing Hall of Fame occasion absolutely because he used to be the most horrible man on planet. Interestingly Sylvester Stallone and Tyson will head jointly and going to
be welcomed as one of the twelve boxing associates of next year’s class.
When Tyson was in power and had a world heavyweight champion title it is not at all easy to think about what a giant he was. It is even difficult to understand how troubled he was, as he had faced numerous snags in late 80’s and 90’s in his private life
unlike what Tyson had refined inside the ring.
Tim Dahlberg said he would never forget the moment when Trevor Berbick was knocked out by Tyson and when Tyson got the credit of being the youngest heavyweight boxing title owner. Later I watched the 20-year-old Tyson moving about the casino wearing a WBC
title belt with great proud and extending the massive panic on all the viewers, Dahlberg added.
Tyson could not have any chance of being selected if there were one more Hall of Fame for boxing champions. He spent good time in prisons due to crimes committed under assault and rape. Tyson was fortunate not to be arrested again when he was caught with
cocaine in Arizona. His behaviour was so unacceptable and terrifying that any normal society would never allow him to move in the community freely.
But it a fact and should be noted that Tyson is representing a game of boxing and not basketball and those who have seen his prime time would never think in this manner.
His leading period in boxing world did not last so long but sponsors were continuously selling Tyson because of his charm for boxing lovers across the world.
Tyson is brutally frank when it comes to speaking about his weaknesses as he has excellent abilities of analysing himself correctly. Tyson’s life history, aggression and abnormal signs have made him dream patient for psychiatrists. Hence, he has been a dream
guest of many famous talk shows.
Tyson was knocked out by Kevin McBride in the final fight which lasted just for a round about five years back. Now Tyson is close to the middle age and it seems that he has lost many of the evil spirits that were frequently suffering him. Now Hall of Fame
Mike is amazingly above ground and ready to present himself.
