SAN FRANCISCO, September 06, (THEWILL) – Former undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion, Iron Mike Tyson, says when he was young, he got erections from boxing, describing a fight as ‘orgasmic’.
Tyson stated this in an interview with Joe Rogan disclosing his emotions before a fight.
He also disclosed that he struggled with the notion of planning to hurt his opponent.
He said: “It’s orgasmic sometimes.”
Responding to Rogan’s question: “What does it mean when the fighting gets you erect?
He said: “Well, that’s how I’d get when I was a kid. Sometimes I’d get the twinkle.”
Tyson will clash with Jones, former four-division champion, in an eight-round pay-per-view fight on November 28.
Although Mike Tyson stopped boxing in 2005, he still insists he can still perform.
He said: “I believe this is just going to be the beginning, and whatever happens, happens in life.

“I’m just interested in fighting for the title of giving.
