3Mike Tyson
Yes, you heard that right! The former heavyweight boxing champ, Mike Tyson is a vegetarian. When asked about why he chose to make this change, he was truly honest and I can’t tell the story better than him, so here it is:
“I just threw up the white flag. Too many prison cells, too many jails, too many lawsuits, too many bankruptcies, too many women, too many venereal diseases, too many everything. I got tired … of every time my prostitute girl got back from a trip, I had to sleep with her. I’m going to live a different life.”
Of course, the question that comes to our mind while reading this is this: Would it have been possible for him to maintain a vegan diet while he was fighting? And for that, he has an amazing answer.
“I don’t know. I really don’t believe so. But I’m not sure because I found out the greatest gladiators, the greatest ones in Roman times, they were all vegan. That’s fighting to the death!”
