“Yeah. I don’t fear it. Living might be more complicated than dying to me,” he said.

“The belief of it. I don’t know if it’s true. Because living takes a lot of courage. Without the courage, you can’t handle living. Living is a journey; living is a struggle. People have everything and they still can’t do it, they struggle. We take ourselves too seriously. We think we’re somebody. Who the fu*k? We’re nothing! We come from sh*t; we think we’re special! Fame is sh*t.”

The 53-year-old was also asked if death was on his mind during his career in boxing.

“I knew there was a possibility that I could die during training, during a fight. I knew that,” he continued.

“But I wasn’t scared, because I thought if anybody was going to die, I would do the killing. That self-confidence was a survival mechanism. But now, from my experience, from what I believe, the more I know about not existing, the more willing I am to die.”

For a guy who got hit for a living, Mike really knows how to express himself very well.
