Boxing legend Mike Tyson has revealed how Kobe Bryant’s death changed him as a person.

Back in January 2020, the world of sports was shaken to its core when it was confirmed that NBA great Bryant had passed away.

The 41-year-old was killed after the helicopter he was in crashed into the side of a mountain in Calabasas, Los Angeles. Bryant, his daughter, and seven other passengers were all killed on impact.

Speaking in February 2020, Tyson revealed why he has become a different person after Bryant’s passing.

He said on his ‘Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson’ podcast: “I’m a different person now since that happened.

“I don’t even know what happened, but I’m different, and I like to believe I have more gratitude. I’m more grateful for my existence and the air that I breathe and for my family.”

Tyson added: “I get cocky sometimes and think I can get a lot of people, a lot of broads, and I just need to have more gratitude. I forget about gratitude sometimes. You forget how precious life is.”
