During a press conference, legendary boxer Mike Tyson said that he “is on the verge of dying because I’m a vicious alcoholic.”

“I haven’t drank or took drugs in six days,” the former heavyweight champion said. “And for me that’s a miracle.” Following his career inside the ring, Tyson made cameo appearances in movies like 2009s The Hangover, and even starred in his one-man Broadway show.

Tyson is battling addiction and working on his third marriage.
