Mike Tyson is speaking his truth.

The former heayweight champ says his “expiration date is coming close” on a new episode of “Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson.” Tyson gave a shocking statement in a recent episode of his podcast Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, saying that he feels like his death is imminent.

“We are all gonna die one day, of course,” Tyson told Sean MacFarland, a trauma and addiction therapist. “Then, when I look in the mirror, I see those little spots on my face, I say, ‘Wow. That means my expiration date is coming close, really soon.’”

In what became an extremely morbid look into Tyson’s mental health at this point in his life, Tyson said that money and wealth are of little concern to him anymore.

“I always tell people, they think money’s gonna make them happy, they’ve never had money before,” Tyson said. “When you have a lot of money, you can’t expect nobody to love you. You believe that you’re invincible when you have a lot of money, which isn’t true.”

Tyson also responded to comments from his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, after she commented that money would provide her with long-term security if the former champ died.

“What is security?” Tyson said. “’I don’t know. When you put money in your bank and you get a check every week and you can live for the rest of your life, is that security? It doesn’t mean you won’t catch a disease, or get hit by a car. Can money secure you when you jump off a bridge?”

Last year Tyson explained the circumstances surrounding his demise to the New York Post, stating: “I ‘died’ during my first trip. In my trips, I’ve seen that death is beautiful.

“Life and death both have to be beautiful, but death has a bad rep. The toad has taught me that I’m not going to be here forever. There’s an expiration date.”

Tyson has lived a pretty crazy life, when it’s his time to go, he should be ready to roll.
