Mike Tyson Schools Teofimo Lopez on Being ‘the Real One’

Mike Tyson, a highly regarded fighting personality, has seen life from a different end altogether. Back in the 1990s, there was hardly anyone who could match his persona and fanbase. Tyson, in a short span of time, broke into paramount fame. He possessed enigmatic power, solid ring IQ, and sublime movements that helped him become one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.

Also, post his retirement, Tyson stayed in the news for the anecdotes and fiery one-liners he shared. Even today, he is known for giving some valuable teachings to the young generation because of the experience he holds.

Moving on, the lightweight king, Teofimo Lopez, and his father appeared on Tyson’s Hotboxin podcast earlier this year. Here, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ gave ‘The Takeover’ a significant lesson on being ‘The Real One’.

He said, “Yeah, so, ‘The Real Ones’ have to know this because this is what normally happens to ‘The Real One’. ‘The Real One’ normally die with no money. So he need to know, this is just a platform for the future. His babies, his grandbabies, and stuff. We forget that because our ego is so inflated with the cameras”

Lopez, still in the early days of the sport, has already achieved enough. On top of that, getting some insights from Mike Tyson himself would fuel him to trace a long way in the sport.
