During their conversation, Tyson and Usman also touched on the subject of dealing with losses in their careers. Usman recently lost his UfC title fight against Leon Edwards, and Tyson shared his own experience of losing his first bout to Buster Douglas. Tyson explained that while his loss to Douglas was financially lucrative for him, as it made him more valuable in future fights, it also raised the stakes and made him more cautious about betting.
Furthermore, Tyson revealed that reaching the level of success he did as a boxer required him to attend numerous events and meetings, which left him with very little time to spend with his children. While he was able to provide them with everything they needed, he admits that he fell short when it came to spending quality time with them.
In his words, “I tell my wife all the time, how are you gonna tell me I’m a good father when I can’t even spend my time with my kids. I gotta go to this to that part of the world. You call me good father because I’m good provider good fathers spends time with his kids.”
This admission is a testament to the fact that even the most successful and accomplished people can struggle with balancing their professional and personal lives. Tyson’s story is a reminder that while financial success is important, it should not come at the cost of our relationships with our loved ones.
