Mike Tyson Legacy Interview Kid Reporter Jazzy Viral

Mike Tyson didn’t hold back a single thought while discussing “legacy” with kid reporter Jazzy. The 13-year-old interviewed the boxing champ ahead of his fight with Jake Paul.

Mike Tyson Went A Lil’ Dark In This Interview With Jazzy

Jazzy started the conversation by highlighting Mike’s iconic return to the ring to fight Paul. Then, as typical in her celeb interviews, she asked him an inspirational question: “So after such a successful career, what type of legacy would you like to leave behind when it’s all said and done?“ Without hesitation, Mike replied that he doesn’t believe in the word legacy and then went IN.

“I just think that’s another word for ego. Legacy doesn’t mean nothing, that’s just some word everybody grabbed on to,” Mike Tyson said. “Someone said that word and now everybody grabbed on to that word, so now it’s used every five seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I’m just passing through and then imma die and it’s gonna be over. Who cares about legacy after that?”

He added that as humans after we die, we’re “nothing…just dead…dust…absolutely nothing.” “Our legacy is nothing.” The 13-year-old didn’t miss a professional beat, though. She thanked him for sharing that and said his views are not something she’s heard someone say before as their answer. Tyson barely let her finish before continuing to rant about someone wanting to have a legacy.

“You’re dead…you think somebody really want to think about you? …’I want people to think about me when I’m gone.’ Who the fuck cares about me when I’m gone? Nobody cares. Maybe your grandkids, but who the f**k cares.

Still keeping her cool, Jazzy replied, “True, and again, thank you so much for sharing that.”

that’s mike’s standard answer to that question about legacy. young jazzy — who i think is really good — asked a grownup question and got a mushroom-tinged grownup answer. https://t.co/wCQgpEX9dO

Mike and Jake Paul will fight this Friday, Nov. 15, after the match was moved from July. Jazzy and Mike also talked about Jake Paul and how little Tyson thinks about him. They also spoke about each other’s outfits, and Jaz gifted the champ a lil’ something.
