Former heavyweight champion of the world Iron Mike Tyson has been through an awful lot throughout the years and now he’s just happy to be alive.

“I lived a wild and extreme life,” the former heavyweight champion told reporters Saturday. “I used drugs. I had altercations with dangerous people. I slept with guys’ wives that wanted to kill me. I’m just happy to be here, you know. It’s just a miracle.”

How has Tyson stayed alive throughout the years? He’s raped women, he’s ate ears off of live humans and he’s been in thousands of street fights. Its amazing that somebody hasn’t put a bullet between his eyes yet. But Tyson has always been a very entertaining character so hopefully he’s around for awhile.
