Life's the greatest gift, says Mike Tyson

London, Apr 28 (ANI): Mike Tyson who is on tour the states as part of his monologue show 'Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth - Live On Stage', shared his life philosophy with the audience.

The former boxing champion spoke about his experiences in life at the Spirit Conference Centre in Slough and had a rambling Q and A session with the public.

"Life is great. It's the greatest gift. We get it for free," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

"We all get to know each other. I had a great life. My mother was an alcoholic and my father was just a really, really bad guy. And I was bad, too. I robbed people, I shot people, I did a lot of bad things I'm not proud of.

"And then I found fighting and went on this magnificent journey?.?.?.?All I cared about was hurting big, strong men. That's all I wanted. I had no life outside boxing. I didn't have a girlfriend until I was 19 but, God damn, I've made up for it now - the lawsuits, the diseases?.?.?.?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not supposed to talk about that. I forgot. Sorry. I'll get in trouble again. Oh s***," he added. (ANI)
