Mike Tyson brilliantly revealed that he absolutely refuses to let his kids get the better of him in any physical competition.
The 55-year-old former undisputed heavyweight champion has three sons – Amir (24), Miguel (19) and Morocco (10).
In a recent lecture, he hilariously recounted what happens when his oldest child, Amir, tries to fight him.
Tyson told Valuetainment, “I have a 24 year old son, and every now and then he tries to wrestle with me.
“He’s bigger and he’s trying to wrestle with me.”
At this point, Tyson went from a jovial to an aggressive tone in an instant and said, “I’m like, ‘Take your fucking hands off. “
“I know what’s on his mind, I won’t let him play with me like that.”
The crowd erupted into laughter in response, but Tyson remained unmoved and insisted, “I’m very serious.”
Explaining his reasoning, Tyson said, “Listen, for some reason, when young children, they challenge you for their mother’s sake in any way.
“If you sleep with them, they want to sit in the middle when they’re babies.
“If you argue, they want to defend her and challenge you.
“Everything revolves around this connection, they feel they have to protect their mother.
“You can’t be mad at it, so you have to choose your battles, that’s all.”
