Tyson said that even his own family asked him this question. "My 14-year-old son asked me: 'Why are you doing this?' I remained silent for a moment. Then I said to him: "Because I am the best among those who did this." He didn't believe it. Then I added: "This is the only thing I can do. At 50, I earned more than at 20. It took only four fights," Tyson said in an interview with Talksport.
Known in the history of world boxing as "Iron Mike," Tyson emphasized that he still maintains himself through his love for sports and his mastery in this field. He believes that physically, he still has enough strength, experience, and willpower, so he's not afraid to return to the field.

At the same time, this fight caused a great resonance and showed that Tyson still generates enormous interest among fans.
