Mike Tyson follows Islamic cultures and traditions like his idol and mentor, Muhammad Ali. In an interview with Jose Martin Sulaiman for the WBC YouTube channel, 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' spoke about why he's not scared of death:
"I'll die right now. Isn't that, that's us reaching our highest potential isn't it? To actually die, to experience death, something God can't experience. So yeah that's, that has to be one of the biggest moments in life, the passing of life."

Jake Paul wants to fight Mike Tyson next
Jake Paul is considering his comeback fight as he returns to action from his current hiatus. 'The Problem Child' took a break to promote this weekend's mega-fight between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. He is looking to return to the ring in August this year. In an interview with SecondsOut, the YouTuber-turned-boxer said:
"Look, I gotta fight in August, you know, still locking down the opponent. You know, no one's really been impressive or has yet to show themselves as the perfect opponent. Obviously been calling out a lot of people. But there's some big talks happening. Looking at the Mike Tyson idea, looking at the Anderson Silva idea. So really there's a lot out there and I've just been training."
