Mike Tyson to Leave Boxing
Tyson, who has lost three of his last four
bouts, indicated he would retire, saying: "I don't have the guts to fight
anymore. My heart is not in it anymore. I don't want to disrespect the sport
I love."
As bad as quitting might
tarnish whatever is left of Tyson's once-proud legacy, his reputation would
have been even further damaged if the fight had stopped after Tyson first
tried to break McBride's left arm and then purposely head-butted his
opponent, opening a cut above McBride's left eye. -
Washington Post, 6/12/05
FGAQ caught up with the once
great fighter after the match, and asked him about his future plans.
"I'm bwoke," he told us, "so I
gotta keep on wucking. Not onwy did I woose this match, I wost a vewy
wucwative contwact pwomoting Tyson chicken. I aweady cut two commuchas - 'It
takes a tough man to beat a tender chicken'. Sigh. I weand aw the wuds wight,
but they don't wan't a woosuh to pwomote theh chicken."
"So I'm gonna take this gig in
Vegas as a human punching bag. Thew aw a wot of wich and famous peopo who wi
pay a hundwed gwand to say they beat the champ. Fowah two hundwed gwand, I
pwomise to not even hit back."
