“He made a mistake, got hurt, and s*** happens,” ‘Iron Mike’ said during the latest episode of his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast. “He can win it back though, but his mind has to be right. He ain’t gonna win it back if his mind’s f***** up. His mind’s gotta be right, he’s gotta dedicate his life to doing this.
“He’s gotta stay away from himself. When we go training, we go away in the mountains, we’re staying away from ourselves and our thoughts.
“In the mountains away from everybody, just the animals and the woods and stuff – you’re facing your demons alone.”
