In the annals of boxing history, few names resonate with as much power and mystique as that of Mike Tyson. Revered as a titan of the sport, Tyson’s journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of boxing glory is a tale that captivates and inspires.

Born into adversity, Tyson faced numerous challenges from a young age. From a turbulent childhood marred by hardship and bullying to a tumultuous youth marked by involvement in criminal activities, Tyson’s life was fraught with obstacles.

Yet, what truly defines Tyson’s narrative is his ability to rise above adversity and emerge as a better version of himself. Unyielding determination, unwavering patience, and laser-like focus propelled him to overcome every setback and establish himself as one of the greatest athletes in sporting history.

With unmatched power and finesse, Mike Tyson dominated the boxing world during his prime, etching his name into the annals of the sport as an indomitable legend. But beyond his athletic prowess, Tyson’s story serves as a testament to the idea that no matter how daunting life’s challenges may seem, resilience and determination can propel an individual to extraordinary heights.

In the realm of boxing legends, few names evoke as much awe and respect as Mike Tyson. Renowned for his unparalleled power and ferocity in the ring during his prime, Tyson’s presence in the boxing world remains iconic. However, as time progresses, questions naturally arise about how age may have tempered the once-unstoppable force that was Iron Mike.

Recent revelations have provided intriguing insights into Tyson’s current physical prowess compared to his formidable past. A series of photos capturing Tyson in various stages of his career, juxtaposed with images of the present day, offer a compelling visual narrative of the boxing legend’s enduring strength.

The images paint a vivid portrait of Tyson’s transformation over the years. In his prime, Tyson’s muscular physique and intense gaze exuded dominance and fearlessness, striking fear into the hearts of opponents. The raw power behind his punches was legendary, earning him the moniker of “The Baddest Man on the Planet.”

Fast forward to the present, and while the passage of time may have inevitably brought changes, Tyson’s aura of strength and resilience remains unmistakable. Despite the inevitable effects of aging, he still possesses a commanding presence, with a physique that speaks volumes of years of dedication and training.

What is particularly striking about these images is the subtle yet unmistakable evolution in Tyson’s physique. While the rippling muscles may have slightly receded, replaced by a leaner, more refined physique, the fire in his eyes and the determination etched into his expression remain as potent as ever.

Selena Gomez is not as PG as she used to be with the actress dropping more than her fair share of F-bombs in a new interview.

The 23-year-old star sat down with GQ for an interview released Thursday, and made it clear she does not have time to worry about people judging her.

The Hands To Myself songstress also made it clear she has no time for self-pity either.

Selena told GQ: ‘I didn’t have an opportunity to figure out my life without people having an opinion every step of the way.’

No doubt this has included her much discussed on and off again relationship with pop’s bad boy Justin Bieber.

Many have also criticized the 23-year-old as she went from the cherub-faced star of Wizards Of Waverly Place and to one who sings talk about 𝑠e𝑥, partying and generally not PG activities.

Growing up in the public eye: The 23-year-old (seen here earlier this month) made it clear she does not have time to worry about people judging her

Mistakes, she’s made a few: The star – who became a household name on Wizards Of Waverly Place – said , ‘I didn’t have an opportunity to figure out my life without people having an opinion every step of the way’

While that is tough, Selena does not want your pity nor her own: ‘I chose this.

‘So I’m not gonna sit here and say, ”Oh, my God, poor me, I didn’t have a normal childhood.”

‘I don’t give a f**k about that.’

 

 

 

Addressing her stint in rehab in January 2014, Selena explained to the magazine: ‘No, no, no, no, no. First off, this is something that everyone always wants to fixate on. I got diagnosed with lupus. My mom had a very public miscarriage. So I had to cancel my tour.’

Ups and downs: No doubt these issues has included her much discussed on and off again relationship with pop’s bad boy Justin Bieber (pictured 2011)

‘I needed time to just be okay. And I was going through leukemia’ – GQ noted that Selena likely meant to say chemotherapy.

‘and I went to two different locations for those treatments. It’s really frustrating, because I’m 100 percent allowed to have that, but I think people just want to have some sort of–– I understand what you’re asking but I’m just saying, I don’t think it really matters.

‘My past seems to be way more fascinating for people than my future, which bums me out… I don’t ever really like to sit and dwell on what that experience was. Was it fun? No. Is it fun to have it? No.’

New role: Selena certainly seems to have developed a taste for swear words, which may have been bolstered thanks to her part in movie Neighbors 2 (she is pictured on set)

A Missouri woman who spent nearly a week in a coma says she’s grateful to her family for singing her a Taylor Swift song that she says helped wake her up.

 

Angela Fisher went to the hospital at the end of January for a colon dissection. She had a massive bleed, so she was rushed into emergency surgery. But after she got out of surgery, she didn’t wake up.

“Everybody tells me that I almost died,” Angela Fisher said.

For nearly seven days, Angela Fisher was in a coma. Doctors even told her family to say their goodbyes – until an intensive care unit nurse made a suggestion.

“Make some noises. Do something,” said Brenda Varner, Angela Fisher’s sister, recalling the nurse’s advice.

The noise Varner and Angela’s daughter, Amanda Fisher, decided to make? One of Taylor Swift’s biggest hits. The family started belting “Shake It Off” over and over, louder and louder, next to Angela Fisher’s hospital bed.

“She had a tear,” Varner said. “It was like she was just kind of struggling barely, but we could tell that it seemed like she was hearing us.”

After the tear came a blink. These were the first signs that Angela Fisher had awoken from her coma.

“We were just thrilled. We were like, ‘Oh my gosh, she blinked,’” Amanda Fisher said.

Now on the road to recovery, Angela Fisher says she’s grateful to her family, God and the resourceful ICU nurse that inspired her sister and daughter.

“When the doctors gave up on me and told my family to tell me goodbye, she worked and worked and worked. Here I am because of her,” she said. “Miracles do happen, and it’s wonderful to be here.”

Angela Fisher says she now has a song that will be stuck in her head forever.

“Well, ‘Shake It Off’ is really working well for me,” she said with a laugh.

Angela Fisher has been out of the hospital for about two weeks. She has six more weeks of recovery ahead.

NORTH West appeared to take a “messy” swipe at Taylor Swift by reposting a video seemingly mocking the singer on TikTok.

The 10-year-old “accidentally” shared a clip of Taylor dancing on her and mom Kim Kardashian’s joint account – which was deleted hours later.

Taylor, 34, was seen dancing erratically in the music video for her 2017 song, Delicate.

The Midnights singer went barefoot in a blue, tasseled minidress as she showed off her goofy moves in a hotel lobby.

Taylor stomped across a reception desk and clicked in security guards’ faces in the wild clip.

The video had the text, “So this is your favorite singer?” and had the caption, “I’m sorry, what?”

It was deleted soon after, seemingly by Kim, 43, who is in Paris for fashion week without North.

“LMAOOO north is so messy,” one fan wrote on Reddit after sharing a screenshot of the repost.

“It’s the only repost on their account. This is hilarious i don’t think she meant to repost it,” another added.

“Uh oh lol, I understand North probably saw it online but I hope [Kim and Kanye West] are not spewing hate behind the scenes around their kids, that would just be ugly and unnecessary to let your kids know” a third posted, referencing Kim and Kanye’s longstanding feud with Taylor.

Another user pointed out the video’s swift erasion, commenting, “Yeah it’s gone already Kim was prob lurking in the sub.”

Taylor and Kim’s feud began after Kim’s ex-husband Kanye famously ran up on the VMAs stage in 2009 interrupting Taylor’s Best Female Video win for her hit You Belong With Me.

As the stunned pop star made an emotional speech on stage, Kanye ran up from the audience and grabbed the mic out of Taylor’s hand.

He fired off the iconic line, “Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish … but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!”

FAMOUS FEUD

In the years that followed, the artists released songs that took jab at each other.

Kanye dropped his song “Famous,” which included the lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have 𝑠e𝑥 / Why? I made that b**** famous.”

Taylor called out the rapper for using her name in a derogatory way – despite Kanye insisting he had run all the lyrics past her.

Kim, who was married to Kanye at the time, shared a supposed phone call where Taylor appeared to agree to her name being used in Kanye’s song.

“She totally approved that, she wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t,” she told GQ.

“I swear, my husband gets so much s*** for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.”

But Kim went one step further adding the conversation had been recorded on camera, and the following month, she released the recording on her social media for all to see and hear.

Fans agreed, with one commenting: “Everybody involved in making this fight fight happen should go to prison.”

He has contested in two exhibition bouts since, though, most recently in November 2020.

Iron Mike fought to a split draw against fellow former world champion Roy Jones Jr. in a card which also featured Paul.

The YouTuber turned boxer knocked out ex-NBA player Nate Robinson in the co-main event at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

Both bad boys, Paul, 27, is nicknamed The Problem Child for being a disrupter on social media.

While Tyson, 57, served three years in an Indiana jail after being convicted of rape at the height of his fame.

However, their lifestyles are comparable for the lavishness that surrounds them.

Iron Mike has rebuilt his life after squandering a £300million fortune with a cannabis empire, and is a huge advocate of the drug.

As Paul has continued to rise up the ranks, he has splashed the cash on a fleet of amazing cars.

He lives in a plush mansion worth £13million in Puerto Rico, after escaping his hectic life in Los Angeles.

But, it used to be Tyson that led the way on the property front.

Homes

Through the years, Tyson has lived in New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Maryland and Nevada.

The latter is where he currently resides, with a former Las Vegas home famously used for scenes in cult Hollywood movie The Hangover.

These days, he lounges in his Henderson property he paid £2.5million for.

The 8,149 square-foot space features six spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms and is found in a gated community.

It’s certainly smaller than the 52-room abode he had in the 2000s in Farmington, before going broke and selling that to rapper 50 Cent, who must have been excited by the idea of it featuring a nightclub and a games room with poker and roulette tables.

Tyson, who made it popular for boxers to own exotic pets, had three Bengal tigers in his Ohio house.

Paul has some catching up to do when it comes to his living quarters.

He left California after admitting there were “too many distractions” and moved to the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico.

The two-storey home has eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a fitness room, a luxury swimming pool, a games room and an elevator.

The Caribbean Realty Group revealed the house was initially listed at $19,995,000 (£16.1m) until Paul came to an agreement with ex-basketball star Yadier Molina, who owned the property.

Cars

Part of the reason Tyson blew his wealth was his love of amazing cars.

He enjoyed motors from Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and McLaren, before he had to auction them off to raise cash and pay off the tax man.

A friendship with Tupac Shakur saw the youngest ever heavyweight champion splash the cash on Mercedes, after the All Eyez on Me rapper recommended them.

Admittedly, he had more money than sense and a £15million debt saw him part with his cherished car collection.

Paul has his own stunning garage, and is equally as reckless when it comes to looking after them.

Just 18 months after receiving a £330,000 Ferrari 296 GTB, he confessed he managed to wreck it after doing one too many doughnuts.

On a recent shopping spree, he also got his hands on a £600,000 SF90 Spider and a 1958 Ford Fairlane, which can cost up to £70,000.

In 2018, Paul treated himself to a £165,000 Lamborghini Huracan.

He also parted with £360,000 for a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which he regularly shows off on social media.

Love of his life

Paul has dated a string of beautiful women through the years, from models to actresses.

But, after years of failed romances, he seemingly has found ‘the one.’

He is smitten by Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam, and went public with their relationship following his loss to Tommy Fury.

Paul also confessed Leerdam proved pivotal in helping him cope and overcome the first loss in his seven-bout career.

Paul said in a YouTube video: “I have a new girlfriend which is pretty cool.

“It’s been so refreshing, she’s a world champion and I’ve just been so amazed by her and her work ethic and how much of an angel she is.

“She’s one of the most pure-hearted human beings that I have met in my life, so genuine and she has just changed my perspective and helped me coming out of this loss when I was in a dark place.

“She really was there talking about her losses and was able to relate to those things and what I was going through.

“So she’s been such a blessing; Jutta if you’re watching this hi, you’re amazing.”

For his part, Tyson is settled down with his third wife, Lakiha Spicer.

She first met Tyson aged 18, when they were introduced by promoter Don King after one of his bouts.

However, it wasn’t until the early noughties that they began dating, and they married in 2009 – two weeks after the death of Tyson’s daughter, Exodus.

‘Kiki’, as she is affectionately known, has played a huge role in Tyson’s reformation, including helping him develop his one-man show ‘The Undisputed Truth’ on Broadway.

Reinvention

Paul’s net worth is still to reach the giddy heights of Tyson’s.

He is said to have amassed a £60million fortune through his YouTube channel and boxing career.

Tyson is still reinventing himself.

His Hotboxin’ podcast has become a staple of the entertainment world, and where he pours his soul into interviewing fascinating minds, celebrities and athletes.

Occasionally, he will combine the show with another love, weed.

Tyson sells weed through his brand Tyson 2.0Credit: Refer to Caption
Since 2016, Tyson has been selling marijuana-laced products through his own weed label called Tyson 2.0.

Tyson works as the company’s chief brand officer.

After years of substance abuse with drugs including cocaine, Tyson – who made a sensation return to boxing with an exhibition draw against Roy Jones Jr in 2020 – found comfort in marijuana, which is legal in California.

It made him, as he’s the first to admit, a much calmer person.

It encouraged him to partner up with businessman Rob Hickman, who pointed out what a difference weed has made to the ex-boxer’s life.

“It changed his life,” he told GQ. “He’s the perfect person.”

Buoyed by his discovery, Tyson also knew if it could aid him, then others would see the benefits too.

He told Cannabis Tech Today: “I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis… it was a no brainer.”

Tyson revealed that the business is making £500,000-per-month.

However, he also said back in 2022 that he was smoking £40,000 of cannabis a month.

Yes, he may be getting high on his own supply. But Paul might need a puff on what Tyson’s smoking before the famous knockout king steps into the ring with him.
