Mike Tyson breaks down as he confesses that he is “nobody” to his kids “But that night they are going to find out their father is very special”

Iron Mike just wants to make his family proud.

The time is almost here. In just two days, a possibly epic boxing event will grace AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas. After months of uncertainty and some backlash, Mike Tyson’s bout against Jake Paul is set to finally come to fruition on Friday night.

Paul is going for boxing glory, with the opportunity to come out saying he defeated and slayed arguably the most dangerous boxer in the sport’s history. Tyson, on the other hand, is set out to prove he can do anything at 58 years old, while also humbling Paul in the process. Tyson isn’t just fighting for his own legacy, though. He’s fighting for the legacy of his family as well.

Thank you for watching

During an open workout this week, a reporter asked Tyson what it meant to have his family in the building as he gets ready to face Paul. Tyson’s answer stunned everyone and showed a side of his that fans don’t often see.

‘They will see how special I am’ – Mike Tyson and Jake Paul gear up for historic fight in TexasLAPRESSE
Family is everything. To my children, I’m nobody, but that night they’re going to find out their father is very special. So the night of the fight they’re gonna realize they better watch it the next time they talk crap to me.

Tyson is essentially saying that his children look at him as just another person. They don’t see the “Baddest Man on the Planet” that left an indelible mark on the sport of boxing. Instead, they see a caring father.

It makes sense when you consider three of Tyson’s children were born in the 1990s, and they were too young to comprehend what Tyson was doing to other boxers. His other children are much younger and didn’t even watch him during his pro career. This will be the first time all of them really see him up close and ringside.
