Tyson Press Conference Quotes

Mike Tyson: "I'm happy to be here, starting my world tour in Youngstown. It's been a little nerve-racking, but I'm ready to get it started. I'm a litttle nervous. The people here have been great. I lived approximately 18 miles from here. I'm sure this will be entertaining. I expect to have some fun. Bigger things (on the world tour) are down the road, places like Australia, China and possibly Dubai. I'm doing these exhibitions for charity. I'm retired; no way I'm fighting again. I began training to get in shape and it just snowballed. I wanted to do something for charity and here we are."
