Within the lead-up to his highly-anticipated fight against Jake Paul, boxing legend Mike Tyson hilariously defined why he’s not involved about how he’ll be remembered. Throughout an interview with 14-year-old reporter Jazlyn “Jazzy” Guerra on Thursday, November 14, Tyson, 58, was requested concerning the “legacy” he’d like to go away behind as soon as his in-ring profession is over.
“I don’t know, I don’t imagine within the phrase ‘legacy,’” Tyson mentioned bluntly. “I simply assume that’s one other phrase for ego. Legacy doesn’t imply nothing. It’s just a few phrase everyone grabbed onto.”
Tyson continued, “It means completely nothing to me. I’m simply passing by way of. I’m going to die and it’s going to be over. Who cares about legacy after that?”
Guerra, clearly bowled over by Tyson’s candidness, let the previous heavyweight champion preserve speaking.
“We’re nothing,” Tyson mentioned. “We’re simply lifeless. “We’re mud. We’re completely nothing. Our legacy is nothing.”
Guerra nodded her head and responded, “Nicely, thanks a lot for sharing that. It’s one thing that I’ve not heard earlier than, somebody say that as a solution.”
“Can you actually think about any individual saying, ‘I would like my legacy to be this manner?’ You’re lifeless!” Tyson carried on. “You assume any individual actually needs to consider you? What’s the audacity to assume, ‘I would like individuals to consider me after I’m gone?’ Who the f— cares about me after I’m gone?”
All Guerra may do was snort, shrug and say, “True.” The younger reporter obtained kudos within the remark part of her video for a way she dealt with the outrageous interview.
“Lol good job Jazzy for keepin it pushin & skilled lil sis 😂,” one particular person wrote. One other mentioned, “Bless younger Jazzy. She’s going to be a grasp of human interplay earlier than she will get a drivers license.”

When it’s over, it’s over. However whereas the method is occurring, my intention is to harm him. I hope he has the identical intentions, or he’s in bother.”
