Mike Tyson has revealed what religion he follows. He was born a Christian, but just like his idol, Muhammad Ali (formerly Cassius Clay), he converted to Islam. ‘Iron’ Mike converted in the early 1990s when he was inactive in boxing.

Mike Tyson appeared on the ‘Full Send Podcast’ hosted by the infamous YouTube group NELK Boys. In an extensive podcast, Tyson spoke about everything from his religion and his new way of living.

“I have the characteristics of many religions, but I’m a Muslim. Somebody might think if I f**king speak Yiddish or if I speak Arabic, someone might think I’m either one or something. But, um, I love God. I do more praying than I can do. You know, my faith is to god and when I die Imma die a Muslim, it’s just who I am as a person,” said Tyson.

However, after watching Holyfield’s comeback fight against Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort, it would not be a good idea to make Tyson fight Holyfield.
