Mike Tyson, a controversial boxing star

David October 19, 2022

The sports stars that stand out today, in practically any discipline, are usually impeccable, elegant people with a perfect reputation. Athletes have a lot of power of influence over the general public and especially over the little ones, who see them as idols. Society is responsible for reminding them that they are examples to follow, and that they must have a good attitude at all times, both on and off the pitch. The sponsors are also very aware of the behavior of these athletes, and have come to settle large million-dollar contracts with them for faults of all kinds. From convictions for assaults to simply appearing drunk at an event. Today, the image we project is more important than ever, and for these stars who earn millions of dollars a year, that image has to be perfect. But it hasn’t always been that way. There are still athletes today who become loose verses, and are not tied to political correctness. Listening to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish striker, is always a delight, because you know that he is going to go beyond the usual speech of a player.

He is charismatic and has an overwhelming personality that nobody has been able to tame, in the time he has been on the pitch. The same thing happens with some NBA players, like Lebron James or Lamar Odon. Also with tennis players like Kyrgos or Djokovic strong>. They go beyond the lines marked by official speeches, thanks also to the fact that their talent is undeniable. This has cost them sponsors and surely millionaire contracts, since brands today flee from controversy at all costs. However, no case would be as controversial as that of the boxer Mike Tyson, who after years of retirement and having done everything in his sport, continues to be talked about. Tyson is a unique person, and that was already evident when he started boxing, when he was just a kid. His career is like a movie, and it is not surprising that a series has recently been released where a good part of his life is treated, with a vision, yes, quite controversial.
