Mike Tyson believes his time is running out and that he will pass away “really soon.”
On his Hotboxin’ podcast, the 56-year-old former boxing champion made the unsettling remarks. The topic of death came up as Tyson spoke with the show’s guest, therapist Sean McFarland.
Iron Mike said: “We’re all gonna die one day of course. Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face.
“I say, ‘Wow. That means my expiration date is coming close, really soon.’” said Tyson.

‘Money won’t buy you happinness’
Before talking about his mortality, 56-year-old Tyson talked about how having money does not necessarily provide the happiness and security that those who have never had it might suspect.
Tyson has recently developed a strong sense of philosophy and introspection.
“I always tell people — they think money’s gonna make them happy, they’ve never had money before — when you have a lot of money, you can’t expect nobody to love you. How am I gonna confess my love to you when you have $500 billion?”
“The false sense of security. You believe nothing can happen. You don’t believe the banks could collapse.”
“You believe that you’re invincible when you have a lot of money, which isn’t true. That’s why I always say money is a false sense of security.”
“What is security? I don’t know. When you put money in your bank and you get a check every week and you can live for the rest of your life, is that security?”
“That means you won’t catch a disease, you can’t get hit by a car? You can’t jump off a bridge. I don’t know. Is that security?
“Can money secure you from that?” said Tyson.
