Mike Tyson Don’t hesitate a thought when discussing “heritage” with child reporter jazz. The 13-year-old interviewed the boxing champion before his fight with Jake Paul.
Mike Tyson went dark in this interview with Jazzy
Jazzy started the conversation by highlighting Mike’s iconic return to the ring to fight Paul. Then, as usual in celebrity interviews, she asked him an inspiring question.: “So after such a successful career, what kind of legacy do you want to leave behind when all is said and done?“ Without hesitation, Mike replied that he did not believe in the word heritage and entered.
“I just think it’s another word for ego. Heritage doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a word that everyone uses,” Mike Tyson said. “Someone said that word and now everyone understands it, so now it’s used every five seconds. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I’ll just pass by and then I’ll die and it’ll all be over. Who cares about legacy then?”
He added that as humans after death, we “nothing…just death…dust…absolutely nothing.” “Our legacy is nothing.” However, the 13-year-old hasn’t missed a beat professionally. She thanked him for sharing that and said his point of view was not something she had ever heard someone say before as their answer. Tyson barely let her finish before continuing to rant about someone wanting a legacy.
“You’re dead…do you think anyone really wants to think about you? …’I want people to think of me when I’m gone.’ Who cares about me when I’m gone? No one cares. It could be your grandchild, but who cares.
Still remaining calm, Jazzy replied: “Yes, and again, thank you so much for sharing that.”

That’s Mike’s standard answer to the legacy question. funny young man – who I thought was really good – asked an adult question and got a mushroomy adult answer. https://t.co/wCQgpEX9dO
