Holyfield's ear in their 1997 world title rematch and making a series of inflammatory remarks towards Lennox Lewis ahead of their showdown five years later, Tyson said he regretted the way he treated his opponents inside and outside the ring.
"My whole life was a regret. My whole life, my actions, my conduct, a lot of stuff I've done in my life, especially as a fighter," he said.
"Putting down a lot of fighters just to become more of this renowned figure and stuff. I wish I didn't do that, I wish I hadn't said a lot of the things that I've said to other human beings."
