Mike Tyson sent the internet into an absolute frenzy in 2020 when the boxing legend seemingly dozed off halfway through his Good Morning Britain interview with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid. Iron Mike joined the popular breakfast show to promote his upcoming exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. But when asked about concerns as to whether two 50-plus-year-old men should be fighting ‘without protective headgear’, Tyson dipped his head and was unresponsive for a few seconds.
Now, in a recent appearance on Piers Morgan uncensored, Tyson explained that it was painkillers he had taken for an injury he sustained in training that caused him to be drowsy that day.
“Hey, listen I had hurt myself at that particular time I guess I was training, something happened, I hurt myself and I received some painkillers from my wife and after I received these painkillers, I was just incapable of articulating anything, it was just a mess,” admitted Tyson.
Morgan joked: “People thought I was so boring as an interviewer that I had literally driven you to sleep… I need you to take the wrap for that because I got killed for that, it was like ‘Morgan you’re sending people to sleep, what’s the matter with you?’”
“He got balls. He’s got f***ing balls. When you see a white boy with balls, you know. I’m talking about for real, but f*** you motherf***er. Yeah, but nah man, let him have his f***ing reign.”
At 56 years old it’s presently unclear whether he will ever fight again. Last year Tyson announced that he would be returning to the ring against a ‘stimulating opponent’ in February 2022 but nothing came of it.
“I am going to have a return fight in February, and we are pretty skeptical about the opponent, but it will be a really stimulating opponent,” told The Sun.
