Mike Tyson interview: 'I’ve had self- loathing my entire life' When you have been the most famous sportsman on the planet, where do you go from there? Perhaps that is the problem. The only way is down.

He was also the Baddest Man on the Planet. That was how he was billed in the late 1.

Iron Mike Tyson was the modern Raging Bull; an apocalyptic tornado of testosterone, self- disgust and savagery; an avenging angel force of nature who shredded hapless opponents like so many paper dolls. Boxing’s feral assassin, he was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world at only 2. He mashed up giants such as Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks and Donovan Ruddock and made them look like children. Wild- eyed and audacious, he was a tsunami of muscle, wrath and bile – and his adrenalin- frenzied assaults always looked personal. Tyson takes down Donovan Ruddock, June 1. I wanted to kill them.’ Yet the higher the ascent into the celebrity stratosphere, the greater the fall. Mike Tyson crashed and burnt with the dread, unstoppable momentum of one of his own raw monsterings.

He lost his world titles three years after winning them when the famously punishing training routines gave way to partying. In 1. 99. 2 he was given a six- year prison sentence for rape. It was a bout seemingly watched by the entire planet, and for which he was paid a fee of $3. In the third round, with Holyfield well on top, Tyson chewed a lump from his opponent’s right ear and spat it on to the canvas. When the fight was restarted, he bit and scarred Holyfield's other ear. The fight was stopped, and Tyson’s disqualification was followed by a $3 million fine and a ban from the ring. After that, he really started going downhill.

There was another jail term, for a street fight. His chaotic personal life and financial affairs led to bankruptcy. Retired from boxing and reduced to sparring for cash in the foyer of Las Vegas casinos, he admitted to drug addiction after yet another arrest. Yet, somehow, shocked from his narcotic and alcoholic stupor by the death of his four- year- old daughter, Exodus, in a domestic accident in 2.

He has attempted to eschew drink and drugs, proudly telling Ellen De. Generes on her chat show in 2.

Recently, he toured 3. US cities with the largely well- received The Undisputed Truth, the Spike Lee- produced one- man- show confessional that features him reciting a monologue penned by his current, third wife, Kiki Spicer. So in 2. 01. 3, against all the odds, Mike Tyson has conquered his myriad demons and rejoined the human race. His preternaturally toned physique may be long gone, and he looks every one of his 4. For the duration of our interview, he flicks grapes high into the air and catches them in his mouth, the sunlight glinting on the tribal tattoo that sprawls across half of his face. Far from the resonant baritone that his presence and stature lead you to expect, Tyson instead answers my questions in a high- pitched gabble, rendered sibilant by a slight lisp. Words tumble over each other: frustrated, he frequently abandons a response and begins it again, to try to get a better handle on a question.

Photo: Rex Features) Tyson has flown into New York from his Vegas home to launch another of his post- fight careers, this time as a boxing promoter. The following night, Iron Mike Promotions is staging a US super- featherweight title bout at an upmarket casino venue. I ask him what he learnt about promoting from his career- long dealings with Don King, a man who once sought to manage him and with whom he was frequently involved in legal action.

It’s gonna be the fighters that get paid. I don’t wanna give no damn manager no money. With his burgeoning media career and various entrepreneurial sidelines, the purportedly newly sober Mike Tyson should be talking the language of recovery and redemption. He pays lip service to it, but he never sounds convincing – or convinced. Would he have been able to do this stuff a few years ago? I find out a lot about myself when I start searching in my past.

It can be scary.’ The past is another country, and sometimes we don’t live there because it drove us out. Tyson defeats Michael Spinks, June 1. Spinks’s corner (Photos: Getty Images. Rex Features) . Reflection is shameful sometimes, but healing.

I was an animal for years but now I deal with life differently. I want to be humble, to the best of my ability.

There is a visible struggle between the therapy speak he has absorbed over countless years of sessions, and the street fighter who is never far beneath the surface. But I portray myself as being humble, and I hope that it becomes real.’ Mike Tyson is the strangest mix of a hugely conflicted human being and an open book. He runs through the film reel of his life’s events, often with an air of horror, like a man who cannot quite believe everything that has happened. Despite the looming sense of shame that he has clearly never escaped, he is touchingly willing to talk about his desperately dysfunctional childhood. His mother was left to raise three siblings in Brooklyn alone.

It was not a task she was well equipped to accomplish. She had been to college and everything but she didn’t have good skills. I loved her yet she made me feel bad all the time. She was a full- blown alcoholic. Drinking, smoking, men, and sleeping for hours! When I was young I was picked on and bullied and I would go robbing, hoping guys would accept me in their gangs and stuff. All the time, I used to dream about kicking everybody’s ass and killing some people.’ By the time Tyson’s mother died when he was 1.

Brooklyn and Bronx police cells. A thug and a petty thief, he had no interest in the 1. Ali, Foreman and Frazier. He only ever saw one Ali fight, on a TV in a bar. Tyson arrived in his care a ticking time bomb of volcanic hormones, wrath and insatiable self- disgust. Tyson with promoter Don King after winning his first world title in 1. Cus D’Amato pictured in 1.

I thought I was shit, until Cus told me I was a gigantic reptilian Tyrannosaurus Rex monster. He really built up my confidence, but he built it up so high that he turned me into a f****** megalomaniac.’ D’Amato also turned the permanently enraged young Tyson into a fearless, ferocious fighting machine. His speciality? Psychotic ultra- violence. After turning professional at 1. Twelve of them came in the first round: most of them in the first minute.

My objective was to destroy.’ Did you ever feel sorry for the guy you were beating to a pulp? He wanted me to be emotionless. He said feelings mean nothing. Feelings have nothing to do with your life. The only thing that they do is distract you.’ This is the Tyson we remember, the Tyson of legend; the barbaric automaton, the genius brute, powered by homicidal fury. He virtually dismembered all that came against him, rising through the ranks until he defeated the IBF champion Tony Tucker in 1.

His apex came in June 1. Olympic gold medallist Michael Spinks in a title bout billed as the evenly balanced battle of the two finest fighters on the planet. Tyson had Spinks on the canvas and out for the count with 3. A smile spreads across his face, . I felt like a god.’ Yet Mike Tyson was a god with feet of the finest, weakest clay.

Naturally, his precipitous rise to success had not eradicated his urge towards self- destruction: it had merely given it a bigger stage to act out upon. After the death of D’Amato, he sacked his long- term coach, Kevin Rooney, as rumours spread that he was training less and partying harder.

In February 1. 99. Tokyo, in one of the biggest upsets in sports history, Tyson lost his world crowns to a relative journeyman fighter, the 4. Buster Douglas. It was the first time Tyson had ever been knocked out.
