Excuses? Far from it. Having dealt with near identical issues to Tyson I am just trying to explain why he may be acting like this, as it is not normal behavior. Tyson is not a normal dude tho, nothing about him is normal. For me I got better by having structure and goals, and sticking to em, working hard and avoiding periods of being idle. Maybe Tyson is different, but for me that is what it was and I can understand how not having a goal and an opponent could be frustrating a possible trigger.
Are you implying he is scared of Usyk, that is why he is so insisting about fighting around this specific time? We could say he is being greedy but he has given away his entire purse before.
Who knows, maybe him getting hammered again and kicking cars in France is not a red flag. Seems to me tho things have changed for him. Don't know if you know anyone that was bi polar, suicidal thoughts and substance abuse issues, but you simply don't get over it, you just find ways to keep the demons at bay for periods of time. Its not really a case of milking empathy or sympathy at all. It simply is what it is.
