Mike Tyson feels that his death is imminent at times.
On his podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” the former heavyweight boxing champion had therapist Sean McFarland, who mainly focuses on trauma and addiction, on as a contributor and said that he believes he is getting closer to death.
“We’re all gonna die one day of course,” Tyson said. “Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face, I say, ‘Wow. That means my expiration date is coming close, really soon.“
Tyson, 56, has grown quite theoretical and conscious, and before facing his mortality, he spoke about how wealth does not offer the joy and stability that others who have never had it may believe it does.
“Money don’t mean s–t to me,” Tyson said. “I always tell people — they think money’s gonna make them happy, they’ve never had money before — when you have a lot of money, you can’t expect nobody to love you. How am I gonna confess my love to you when you have $500 billion?
“The false sense of security. You believe nothing can happen. You don’t believe the banks could collapse. You believe that you’re invincible when you have a lot of money, which isn’t true. That’s why I always say money is a false sense of security.”
