Speaking with Hart on Hart to Heart, Tyson detailed how his ego guided him throughout his boxing career. 'Iron Mike' was known for his fiery public speeches and intimidating personality. His fierce aura, inside and outside the ring, was the talk of the town in the 1980s. Tyson addressed how he was a completely different person back then, driven by his ego. You can watch the full episode of Hart to Heart below: During the conversation with Hart, Tyson referred to his ego as an entirely separate person from him, saying: “My ego says everybody is full of s***. It’s all about me and you. I had to follow that guy till he broke me and I’m back on my knees. That’s where you’ll be if you hang out with him for too long. He’s good for a duration of time and he gets you to the destination you need to go to, but it’s too painful." Tyson had a rough childhood, having grown up in a poor and crime-infested neighborhood. His struggles on the street, coupled with the influence of the inimitable Cus D'Amato [Tyson's trainer and mentor] led to the emergence of 'Kid Dynamite.'

Nonetheless, despite being decades removed from being the person that was the world champion, Tyson addressed that it was all his ego. Tyson detailed: “It’s my ego that wants me to conquer the world. If I am playing chess he’s going to say that you can conquer the world of chess. I had to be the best the sun ever saw. Isn’t that sick?” A marked difference from his younger self can now be seen in Tyson's disposition.
