Yes, usually with such interviews, they're trying to make some buzz through athletes like Tyson to have a match and flame it with other boxers. But his answer wasn't expected if he's into Achilles. Well, the good answer then for him.
It could also be that he have just got some attention from him and he's doing some series of book reading or watching documentaries about it, so, that's the answer that he's got. Nevertheless, I don't see it as something to think that he's a pushy boxer.
Well, I really like his answer to the interviewer, well, if you are talking to Mike Tyson he would likely say straight-to-the-point things toward you or someone that is how Mike Tyson is, he will surely give you what he wants to say or he event will say the safest route to a question as possible, well I really like his wits back then but likely now I really wish he would be recovered back in his good shape,
He's got the stance to tell anything he wants to say.
And those interviews of him like that got what he's got on his mind at that point. So, straight questions and at the same time, straight and frank answers from him.
A good news about him, he's in a better condition these days.
