For what I get paid to get into the ring, I owe it to my fans to uphold the institution of sportsmanship.

I can't change myself. I'm Mike Tyson. I'm a regular kid from the getto striving to do something positive with myself. I happen to fight well.

I fight for perfection

There are nine million people who see me in the ring and hate my guts. Most of them are white. That's okay. Just spell my name right.

I ain't the same person I was when I bit that guy's ear off.

Me? I see an old, broke-ass black guy taking care of a bunch of kids, living life, taking them to school, and all that stuff, who's asking himself: What the hell is this? But I wouldn't give it up for the world because I love my wife. I never expected to have a life like this. No chaos... no confusion... no lawsuits... no violence... no going to jail.

I'm a man. I lived it and I'm not afraid to die but when I die I'm going to paradise and I'm not worried.
