He’s developed a reputation over the years for his incredible fighting skills and controversial personal life.
But Mike Tyson revealed a softer side yesterday when he explained that he wants to become a missionary and go and live in a hut in Burma as part of his plan to knockout all the misery on earth.
Once dubbed the baddest man on the planet, the ex-heavyweight champ has turned a new leaf because of the kindness strangers showed him following the tragic accidental death of his beloved 4-year-old daughter.
Little Exodus Tyson caught her neck in a cord on a treadmill and strangled herself in May 2009 at a Phoenix home where Iron Mike does not live.
“I arranged this lavish funeral and the doctor bills were £200,000 all told- and I did not have a nickel to my name,” said Tyson. “It was all paid for by donations, and I am thinking, ‘I am not worthy of all that.’
“All these people reached out and I realised: I just want to be of service to people. I need to help. I need to have something I can offer people in this world.”
And he explains his plans: “I want to live in a hut in Burma as a missionary.”
