Tired Mike Tyson Explains Groggy Good Morning Britain Interview

The boxing star left some viewers of the ITV breakfast show concerned after he was interviewed by Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, and appeared to have a problem with his speech.

However, Mike revealed he was simply tired after falling asleep while trying to stay up for the chat, which took place very late at night for the US-based star. Taking to Twitter, he said: “Hey mate @piersmorgan @GMB @susannareid100 and UK. I tried to stay up late for interview but fell asleep and like a lion I’m hard to wake once asleep. Training hard and going to bed early.
“I had no monitor so I couldn’t see you guys and forgot to look into camera.”Hey mate @piersmorgan@GMB@susannareid100 and UK.

Mike replied: “Pretty much, I am just ready to do this, I feel really good, I am ready to do this.”
