"During an interview with a television station, a journalist asked Mike Tyson if it was true that he got up at 4:00 a.m. to run, to which he replied
"No". - At 4:00 a.m., I'm already running...
- But you are world champion, why do all this? asked the reporter.
To which Tyson responded:
"That's precisely why, at this time all my opponents are sleeping and gaining weight. If I learn that one of them is running at 4:00 a.m. too, I will start running at 2 a.m., and if someone runs at 2 a.m., I'm going to stop sleeping to train. That's why I stay on top... It's my responsibility, not theirs...".
