Mike Tyson prepares for his new role as a boxing promoter and managed to drop 100 pounds after weighing in at 380. Overall, it appears that he has been doing quite well but underneath it all there has been a darker side.
Tyson spoke during a press conference at the Turning Stone Resort and revealed that his drug and alcohol addiction was out of control saying:
“I'm a bad guy sometimes. I did a lot of bad things, and I want to be forgiven. So in order for me to be forgiven, I hope they can forgive me. I wanna change my life, I wanna live a different life now. I wanna live my sober life. I don't wanna die. I'm on the verge of dying, because I'm a vicious alcoholic.
I haven't drank or took drugs in six days, and for me that's a miracle. I've been lying to everybody else that think I was sober, but I'm not. This is my sixth day. I'm never gonna use again.”
