Mike Tyson's biggest regret, however, pretty bizarre, even by the boxer's standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mike Tyson's impressive rise to boxing stardom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mike Tyson\u2019s best knockouts [1985-1990] | Boxing on ESPN\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1ee-NU7Lp5Y?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mike-tyson-has-a-surprising-pick-for-the-toughest-opponent-he-ever-fought\/\"><strong>Mike Tyson Has a Surprising Pick for the Toughest Opponent He Ever Fought<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once he became a professional boxer, Mike Tyson quickly rose through the ranks. His first fights, however, took place without bright lights or fanfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up in Brooklyn, Tyson's first fight came after a bully killed <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mike-tyson-spends-an-obscene-amount-of-money-on-his-pet-pigeons\/\">one of his beloved pigeons.<\/a> At the Tyron School for Boys in upstate New York, however, he stopped brawling and started boxing. Thanks to Bobby Stewart, a fighter turned youth counselor, the teenage Tyson lined up with <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mike-tyson-learned-about-exploding-livers-from-legendary-trainer-cus-damato\/\">Cus D'Amato.<\/a> That relationship would change everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Tyson had <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/heres-exactly-how-it-would-feel-to-get-punched-by-mike-tyson\/\">raw strength<\/a> and intimidation in his corner, D'Amato gave him a technical basis to build upon. Thanks to the peek-a-boo style, Iron Mike was able to absorb virtually anything his opponent threw at him before releasing his own devastating flurry of punches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That combination allowed Tyson to become boxing's heavyweight champion at only 20 years old. His career, however, would turn into a roller coaster rather than a fairy tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iron Mike had plenty of regrettable moments in his life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mike Tyson - Eat Your Children\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KG-xC8Mu6SM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For all of Mike Tyson's talent, he wasn't infallible. If anything, the boxer's career can serve as a classic example of celebrity self-destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1991, Tyson was convicted of raping Desiree Washington, who was 18-years old at the time. As recorded in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1992\/03\/27\/sports\/tyson-gets-6-year-prison-term-for-rape-conviction-in-indiana.html?pagewanted=all\">the New York Times<\/a><\/em>, the boxer received a 10-year prison sentence, but the last four years of it were suspended; he ultimately spent three years behind bars and an additional four years on probation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While that was the worst of Tyson's offenses, his regrettable behavior\u2014and legal issues\u2014 wasn't confined to one isolated incident. Against his better judgment, he purchased some pet tigers; the boxer even <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mike-tyson-paid-a-woman-250000-after-his-tigers-attacked-her\/\">paid a woman $250,000 <\/a>after one of the cats attacked her. Iron Mike also infamously <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mike-tyson-was-fined-3m-for-biting-evander-holyfields-ear-but-made-it-all-back-with-photos-from-it\/\">bit Evander Holyfield's ear<\/a>, threatened to eat <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/where-is-lennox-lewis-today-and-what-is-his-net-worth\/\">Lennox Lewis'<\/a> children, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/mike-tyson-once-blew-an-unbelievable-2-million-on-a-single-piece-of-furniture\/\">squandered his money<\/a>, and hit rock bottom in a hotel room <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/the-night-mike-tyson-hit-rock-bottom-with-prostitutes-cocaine-and-a-morphine-drip\/\">full of drugs and women.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mike Tyson's biggest regret actually involves Tupac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How close was Mike Tyson with Tupac?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D5UUePbJROc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/how-mike-tysons-net-worth-took-such-of-a-big-hit\/\"><strong>How Mike Tyson\u2019s Net Worth Took Such of a Big Hit<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back on his life, Mike Tyson could easily pick out a number of missteps as his biggest regret. The former champ, however, has something else in mind: smoking with Tupac Shakur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did,&#8221; Tyson told the Associated Press in 2010, as recounted by <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.sfgate.com\/dailydish\/2010\/09\/08\/mike-tysons-biggest-regret-is-not-smoking-weed-with-tupac-shakur\/\">SFGate.<\/a> While Iron Mike apparently had the opportunity to partake with the rapper, he missed the chance. &#8220;That's my biggest regret,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Mike Tyson and Tupac smoking together may sound like a zany scenario dreamed up by a fan of all things 1990s, all of the elements seem to be accounted for. As laid out in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/culture\/culture-sports\/watch-mike-tyson-talk-meeting-tupac-shakur-for-first-time-55440\/\">Rolling Stone,<\/a><\/em> we know Tupac and Tyson thought highly of each other; Iron Mike also has a cannabis ranch and has boasted about his prolific smoking habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all of his missteps, Tyson considers missing out on smoking with Tupac to be his biggest regret. If nothing else, that rendevous would have produced quite the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Mike Tyson has made plenty of poor decisions and major missteps in his life, his biggest regret involves Tupac Shakur, not boxing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":1174839,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4898],"tags":[12328,64569],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.9) -
