Not on the Tribune live is iron Mike Tyson it's great to have you here. We talked on the radio before now we have -- on TV I always wanted to ask you. What could you tell us that would surprise people about Mike Tyson that you may have never reveal. Well I never. That one time I would train anything for Arizona and I was being -- -- my -- right now and I went out that night and around a month later follow something. I'm FBI had approached -- came in corner to corner as opposed to me. And room would actually about what I did -- -- sudden they -- -- the pitch and the guys came from what club I'm fit the night before that then I have pain. -- who booked that far under contract and that day. FBI -- come in right and grab somebody might have something like that so they explained to me I'm sure we pitted and they -- -- -- and -- believe. Any any benefit if I didn't think his tune and I must've been an influence from time to Sharif or if it no mind off a signal might. He like if you hit -- like the nineteen people had to shut need to be killed and the media when he came to me can be looked into that computer and on the ground. Our address our driver -- the it to me and him. In this drama and I'm drunk who was the most memo in the -- in my -- and though they came and approached me about. What relationship and I feel well one. You kind of guys he's shooting people you're luckier and I still definitely think I'm looking very nice to move the -- how they had the choice as. Absolutely right let's talk about custom -- in your relationship with him I read an interview with you Reeves said from age twelve when you were around him. Everything you did he said -- world champion that -- that was it drilled into you from that point -- you can't get. This is looking on due to weather. Very ironic would people if -- this young kid -- -- a complete fourth. -- They don't become champion when they had to build -- -- they had. The NBA title and NFL championship that's now when they're -- once they fit the goal that the live -- -- have to lifestyle at the right down the champion. They have the discipline intend to do what you hate to do what to do like to love it. And that's where it starts with the police. We fit the new plan the feeling you bring to supply more achieve this who wanted to achieve. My accomplishment to like to be like. So he challenged you from that point to think collective -- No he demanded that he -- challenging -- -- town and now we're gonna start this is what you gonna do you -- achieved this accomplishment this is what you have to do. Who wouldn't think he's one of challenged me to do I wouldn't attempt to do anything to do with his way here. You when you left the problem now what -- challenge did not win a challenging you gonna do with and not. And engine that could do this well were going to make you go to school they would do something else but this is what this thing we gonna do it and I'm not know. We're trying to -- jobs. -- champion of the world we're good that's -- we have a goal and we are going to accomplish Luke on the defense that you were 270 you get your first shot at the title against -- And -- I think Mohamed Ali walked into the ring and said something to you before the fight -- ready to Utley and communicate you have to accept a but because he really did lead. His foot -- -- -- older than he would in the Manning was one can we just all demanding -- Superman until he didn't have to do that and so I if I could give them to not compliment. I was just to have a momma really if you want my name was -- to know what this that's his amazing thing we. If if the yellow like Tyson is -- Had the mentality. You have today could you have been a champion. Because you were warrior back. And I think that yeah most of them you're very mature guy right now you have a family you're just very grounded. If you had this outlook on life. Back when you were fighting at age 20/20 one could that outlook of what you become a champion. I would be death and made it. Because right now I'm doing can plead my wife and a -- -- angry at me trying to. And them I think of how do we have enough -- away you know king live right so. This is what it does what I wanna do and do that no I can't blow being Mike Tyson. Well they've got a world would batsmen plan and to kill you know I have to destroy my wife my kids and nothing. Because nobody can shenanigans all about me. Who beat Monica Manuel made big power baker. If the old Mike Tyson fought the young Mohammed Ali who wins that -- probably one of the way could be you know only the greatest of all time more confident. Now. You have been in your play here this brutally honest about everything good bad the excesses of your life the tragedies of your life. Did anyone come to you when you were fighting or did you take performance enhancing drugs you get even a better -- No I'm just -- -- -- -- throwing him. And I. And I -- -- -- I'm not among them and I'm not obvious to Wales. You know and I'm going to life and I'm going to adapt to life and still in order to be that guy might take the flat to do. And I couldn't be that guy is being Mike Tyson kind of black guy from Brownsville Brooklyn and look at my so -- is actually was you know. And that's why fatigue in that particular -- -- an engine right here and in this particular field I have to be if the opposite -- that -- confide -- succeed. And that's what wanna be now. You have also been a very open guy. Through the play you went back to the prison where he served time and I think you apologized. To the guy was the vice president I think at that time the -- In the life would be nice work him in command of the enslave and there is there yes it's a flame who is a wonderful man down. What really did not I don't know why you know. He has been around me -- didn't really like me Niemi was made for that job you know if the cold kind of guy moved to -- due to a cold fish. In this Phillies -- commenting the -- to come and talk about grow me feeling with a mostly talk and he had really wanted the best for him for me and I -- Saddam. And that in order for me to contain live in the bottom of my fellow and I want had to go back due apologize and make my man. And unassuming lived life -- wanna -- my family is all inside job. And that's where I thought that this is what I have to do and for the last time -- I have to make my and then. You also lost she told me in the green room about a 160 pounds yet you're complete vegan yeah. When you woke up one day your 380. Some pounds what switch went on where you go OK that's it.
