Having ended his pro-boxing career in 2005, Mike Tyson’s personality has gone through some serious transitions. The heavyweight stalwart now appears to be a friendly personality who is regularly seen in podcasts, events, and media ceremonies. Tyson hosts the ‘HotBoxin podcast’, where he frequently reveals his honest perception on several aspects.
He did the same in the latest episode with rapper Cordae as the guest. Talking about his perspective of God, Mike Tyson also revealed how he foresees death.
The youngest heavyweight champion ever said, “What is God? My perspective, I think we are in the little rocket, when we leave the earth and when we look back at the earth and that’s God. The earth is God. This is God. I mean the earthquake, the tornadoes. This is god, yeah, and we are just insects. We have a season. Like the plants, they have a season. Then we go back to death. That’s what it is. Life is just a beautiful process of dying and nothing really scary about it. It happens to everyone. Everyone has to go through that process.”
Mike Tyson called himself religious and spiritual before expressing his views on God. Recently, the boxer was spotted with musician DJ Khaled at Mecca. The duo performed Umrah together while Khaled became emotional. DJ Khaled posted a video on social media and expressed his religious gratitude.
