Tyson was asked by a young girl during an interview what he thought his legacy would be, ahead of his fight with ‘Iron Mike’ Tyson is undeniably one of the best heavyweight boxers of all time, but that was at the turn of the century, with the prime of his career coming during the mid ‘90s. Instead of the usual cliches thrown out, Tyson opted to share his views of life, and death and why he believed legacies meant nothing.“I don’t know. I don’t believe in the word legacy. That’s just another word to boost your ego. It’s a word that everyone grabbed onto, and is used every five seconds. To me, it means absolutely nothing. I’m just passing through. I’m going to die, and it’s going to be over.
The fight though, was marred by streaming giant Netflix unable to handle the vast number of viewers tuning into the bout as many, particularly in South Africa, battling to watch at all as the event couldn’t load.
