Tyson, who has previously spoken about his mental health issues, explained: “Boxing was a big platform for me to spread the word about mental health and I did my best to do that. I’ve been very vocal about my mental health struggles, especially since my return.

“There was a lot of press about my ups and downs, ups and downs, so I did my best to keep talking about it as much as possible and try to break the stigma.”

Tyson, 34, has previously sung tunes like “American Pie” and “Walk Through Memphis” after some of his most high-profile fights.

Ben Akers and Gavin Thorpe, co-founders of Talk Club, are equally excited about working with Tyson.
