Iron Mike: “I Faced Off With the Biggest Critic in the Mirror and Won”

Iron Mike says he is finally able to enjoy himself “as a human being” as he now has better life skills and prepares to face Jake Paul in the best mental state of his career. 

With the recent launch of Iron Remedy, Mike Tyson says he “faced off with the biggest critic in the mirror and won.”

Unshaken by his opponent’s recent victories in the ring, the 58-year-old champ of champs says he is “very prepared to hurt” Jake Paul on 15th November. And Mike has a mission for men over the age of 30, as he aims to help boost the mental and physical health of millions. 

“Work out,” he says. “Do it not just to look good, but for the mental fortitude that comes from accomplishing a goal. Set goals for yourself and be disciplined. Don’t cheat yourself.”

Telemedicine brand Iron Remedy provides testosterone for self-injection directly to your door. Currently available in 35 states in the US, the clinical practice aims to assist in the declining testosterone levels of men of all ages. Through clinical lab tests and doctor consults, the programme facilitates the ability to obtain microdoses of the testosterone you may need to get back to optimal mental and physical health. 

“If you are over 30, start looking into a testosterone therapy plan like Iron Remedy,” says Mike. “Physical and mental health are intertwined. I am able to be in a better physical condition when I take testosterone.”

Mike says the misconception surrounding testosterone therapy prevents men from maintaining peak health. 

“I think there is this misconception that if men take testosterone it’s because physically there is something wrong with them,” he says. “But from the age of 30, I don’t care how healthy you are, your testosterone levels drop. This affects more than just your physicality, it also affects your mood. Getting a testosterone plan as you age should be as normal for a man as taking a daily supplement in my opinion, because it does so much to stabilise the body and mind.”

With depression and even suicide being such a prevalent topic in the media in recent years, Mike is the first to admit he has faced his fair share of personal demons. 

“I may feel inadequate a lot of the time, but I have always been able to do a self inventory and assess myself and my behaviour,” he says. “I have gotten in trouble in the past for speaking out and speaking the truth, but as I’ve matured, I’ve found more tactful ways to articulate what I want to say. If you are honest with yourself, you’ll stop comparing yourself to others and you won’t care what they think, because you faced off with the biggest critic in the mirror and you won.

“I still have struggles with my mental well being but thankfully I have better tools. I’ve learned a lot over the years from being a former drug addict. I understand my triggers and why I self sabotage. When I’m honest with myself and do that self inventory I feel great. I think many people want to blame others for their problems without realising they are a part of their own story and they can redirect their life at any time. But that’s only possible if you're honest with yourself about how you got to where you are now.”

Mike says his tactics heading into the ring against Jake Paul haven’t changed, despite his opponent’s recent win.

“My tactics haven’t changed since I last spoke to Loaded,” he says. “I still plan to finish him. No disrespect to Mike Perry or any other fighter, but Jake has never fought anyone like me and I will be very prepared to hurt him once he steps into that ring. Respect is an emotion I don’t think about once I enter that ring.”
