Mike Tyson Gives Blunt Answer About Legacy During Kid Interview

Mike Tyson may have forgotten who he was talking to during an interview with a young journalist…he gave a pretty blunt take on how he would like to be remembered — basically saying that nothing matters when we’re all six feet under.

The hilarious interaction took place during a conversation with a 13-year-old reporter named Jazzy …which asked a very good question: What is the legacy he wants to leave behind when he hangs up the gloves for good?

Iron Mike didn’t mince his words… and said he doesn’t believe in “legacy” because it’s just another word for ego.

“I’m just getting through it,” he said. ‘I’m going to die and it’s over. Who cares about the inheritance after that?’

“We are nothing. We are just dead. We are just dust. We are absolutely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”

He further asked, “Who the fuck cares about me when I’m gone?”

Tyson did say his children and grandchildren would still care… but we assume countless others will also keep his memory alive – after all, he is one of the most iconic fighters ever.

Jazzy’s response was golden… she rolled with the punches and hit back with a, “Again, thank you so much for sharing that!”

As blunt as he was with his thoughts on the legacy, it shows that Tyson is locked in his fight against the legacy Jake Paul – which was evident in their final press conference Wednesday evening.
