Mike Tyson

Boxing legend Mike Tyson has surprisingly revealed that the death of his mother was one of the best things that ever happened to him in life.

Lorna Tyson died of cancer in 1982, three years before her son became a professional boxer. 

Tyson has been open about his upbringing in Brooklyn, New York, where he had to fight to survive. And he has shown that the loss of his mother at such a young age actually helped him take the wrong paths.

The 55-year-old told the ShayShay Club: "You know, one of the best things that ever happened to me was that my mother died. Because my mother would hold me as a 'child'. By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive. '

Iron Mike was only 16 years old when Lorna died. Growing up in Brownsville, a neighborhood full of criminals, Tyson had a difficult life starting out, but that helped him become a good boxer.

Before he turned 13, Tyson was arrested about 38 times and sent to a boys' re-education home.
