A Journey Inward
But Tyson’s true transformation began not in the ring, but in his mind and heart. He started attending therapy, embraced sobriety, and began reflecting deeply on his life. In interviews, he began speaking openly about his struggles with mental health, trauma, and self-worth.
In recent years, Tyson has reinvented himself — not as a fighter, but as a philosopher, entertainer, and advocate for emotional healing. His podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson features raw, honest conversations about life, purpose, and spirituality. Tyson even credits psychedelic plant medicine, like psilocybin mushrooms and toad venom (5-MeO-DMT), with helping him reconnect with his true self.

Redemption and Peace
Today, Tyson is a softer, wiser version of his former self. He’s not chasing belts or fame — he’s chasing inner peace. He spends time with his family, manages a cannabis business, and often speaks about forgiveness and personal growth.
“All that money and success — it never made me happy,” Tyson says. “I had to lose everything to find out who I really was.”

The Legacy Beyond the Ring
Mike Tyson will always be remembered for his incredible power in the ring, but his real legacy may be something more profound: the story of a man who was broken by fame and fortune, but who found the strength to heal, grow, and start again.
He is living proof that redemption is possible — even after losing everything.
