You did the right thing Teddy. You accepted a legit apology. Good man.

having watched hours of Tyson in the last 15 years, I am convinced Tyson was not only sincere, he is a genuinely changed man.

Mike apologised for one reason only: because he meant it. There is no other reason why Mike Tyson would have done it, he's one real dude.

Mike Tyson is living proof that ANYONE can redeem themselves ✌🏾

watch Mike close his eyes when they hug, he meant that shit 100%

Judge Judy would hold Atlas in contempt for never getting to the point.

I always get emotional seeing two people reconcile their differences. That's a great thing to see in people as a humanitarian.

Mike is really making peace..... goto respect his efforts 2 due what he feels is right... major Kudos 2 u champ!!

I asked Teddy "what time is it"? He told me how to build a clock.

Typical Teddy fashion, it takes him 10 minutes to say something that any mortal man would take about 10 seconds to say.

There is a wiseness in Teddy I've never fully appreciated before watching this. To some people watching, he's just droning on about a simple thing. But these people cannot hear what he is saying. He speaks from the heart, and is committed to sharing his insight into life 100%

Reiterates something my dad said to me many times. If you are in the wrong, forget your pride, all the stubbornness, admit you’re in the wrong and apologise, never be afraid to say you’re sorry. Regardless what it is, you apologise, thinking about it hurts more than saying it, and once it’s said, 9 times out of 10, you will be embraced & everything is good again.

I was watching he fights and saw it live. It was a surreal moment. Mike has been trying hard for years to be a good man and I am sure his apologizing to Teddy was one of steps who knew that he can take to complete his journey. God bless Teddy and Mike. I wish them both happiness.

I bet it was eating away at Mike's soul after all these years. To apologize and be forgiven, he was finally set free. 👍

"I dont want to alarm you, but Mike Tyson's behind you" if that was the 1980s, even Freddy Krueger would have been terrified to hear that.

Teddy knows how to tell a story. He makes you feel like your actually there.

The old Tyson is long dead. He's a real man now and how many interviews does it state he HATES what he was. I would think it was a real apology.

You should do a podcast together. It would be really interesting for the fans.

Teddy always been a stand up guy, I'm glad to see Mike make peace with people he hurt. Respect

Mike was behind Teddy when he was commentating. Great producer told Teddy that Mike was behind him. Teddy stood and turned around, shook mike's hand and mike said he was sorry that he was wrong. Teddy felt that Mike was sincere. The end.

Mike has grown as man, and father. This brings me joy in trying times.

Rip Cus D’Amato

1) I love Teddy and Mike both Im so glad they reconciled. You can see how moved Teddy was when referencing the passing of the producer and when discussing Tyson saying “I’m sorry”.

It took Teddy so long because it really did mean something to him. Deep down, it was a special moment for him. This kid that he spent all his time with and knew so well had become a stranger because of a disagreement. Years later, the kid is a man and comes back to see him to apologise. It's like the prodigal son has returned. Deep down, Teddy loved that kid...he was humbled...

"Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who trespass against us", has meaning and purpose and takes a real man to forgive.

Takes real courage to ask for forgiveness and to forgive. Awesome story!

Nothing is gonna be able to erase the history and the bond you both had, not only as teacher & student , but also as 2 pupils of the great D’amato. I’m happy for you both. If we can’t outgrow the sins of our younger years, then life would be tragic indeed.

That last part when he said “you can say it don’t mean nothing, but it meant something , I appreciated it” speaks volumes. Teddy a real gentleman.

Just bury the hatchet, and join forces. For Cus and peace of mind.

The power of forgiveness is a beautiful thing! I remember watching that live and to me that was incredible to watch and genuine on both sides.

This is a good moment. Well done to both of you for making up. 👍🥊

I respect Mike a great deal, he was sincere. Thank you Teddy for sharing.

I know it probably wont ever happen but id love to see Teddy on Mike's podcast remembering cus and the old times

Wouldnt that be a movie ending if teddy atlas trains and is in mike tysons corner for his comeback fight

Wow!! Have followed Mike since I was a kid. If you've been a long time fan you know that he has totally changed. That was since!! Beautiful moment between these two men!

That is really sweet. My appreciation of Tyson has grown over the years. He really has tried to turn a lot around, and that I actually can respect. I get how Teddy must of felt about all of it, it must have been really hard on him. This is nice :)

Takes a REAL MAN to say he was wrong and apologize! Much RESPECT to Iron Mike Tyson!

Teddy has to be in Mike's corner for his next fight/ exhibition Thumbs up to bring back teddy & Mike R.i.p cus the legend

You’re a beautiful man Teddy, so is Mike. This interview is touching and makes me proud of Mike and shows how big of a man you are as well to accept his apology.

Damn you Teddy , I teared up ! Honesty is becoming a very rare thing today . It takes a big man to apologize for his wrongs and a big man to accept it .

Mike Tyson's story is inspirational. He came from nothing, became something, became nothing .... but became something again. That takes something. Not many people, starting with his childhood, would have done any better. Judge ye not.....

Look at that hug... Tyson imagined that moment a thousand thousand times before it happened. IT DID MEAN SOMETHING TEDDY!

Tyson has came such a long way and has matured into one of the most compassionate,genuine and big hearted person and matured so much mentally and I’m happy for his happiness.god bless the brother

Teddy just talked me too another video! Yaaaaaawn! I will come back next week!

This shit brought tears to my eyes, they both needed this. Teddy you can help eachother....DO IT

I hope we live to see the day when these two guys can sit down together and have a friendly conversation and talk about the good times.

Like wise men said it takes a genuine man to come and apologize,but it also takes a tremendous man to accept it.I love both Mike & Teddy 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽very much

A good and healing moment in time for both of you. I was happy to see that happen.

Teddy, you sometimes get in your own way. If you felt in your heart that Mike was sincere, believe it 100%; don't second guess yourself or Mike on the matter.

I have a lot of respect for Teddy Atlas. I have great respect for Mike Tyson. I don't know if Teddy was struggling because this was an emotional topic, but My God he took a hour to tell a 5 minute story.

When he talks about being more afraid of the feeling of knowing you should have protected those you love vs. the fear of the actual moment of danger. I feel the same way, and this is the first time I've heard someone else say it.

Nice story. I like how he explained his emotions. I feel he's a very sincere guy.

Man this got my eyes watery. I know that there is still alot of energy regarding this topic. Just the other day someone asked Mike on his podcast, I think it was his buddy, "Hey Mike how do you feel about about Teddy" with sort of an awkward tone and I understand why because Teddy seems to be hard on Mike at times, Mike immediately said, "I love Teddy" with a look that could penetrate through many life times. I know he doesn't even want to discuss Teddy in anyway negative what so ever. I agree with the others that they should get together, I think Teddy in the Hotbox would be great. I often tell people around me sometimes in life you get one chance to learn one lesson and there are maybe many things Teddy and Mike have to learn from each other or themselves, and there could be many things we can learn from watching and listening.

That was as genuine an apology as you could see. Mikes a changed man and a good man

Been waiting to hear this! Atlas and Tyson are both people I've really grown to respect

As A Fellow New Yorker & A Staten Islander For Teddy Atlas & Mike Tyson Bridging 🌉 The Gap As Men!!! There's Nothing But Respect That You Can Put On They're Names 💯 💯💯💯💯

Mike Tyson is pretty much open and honest about absolutely everything - good or bad. That's why I think Desiree Washington was talking shit! If Mike had did something wrong in that hotel room he would have said so and told us in his one man show or whatever. He's always honest if he's screwed up!

I really hope these 2 can put the past behind them and move forward with eachother.

Thats a great story! Thanks fo sharing.

Great episode and good learning experience as always IMO

It’s good Mike apologised to Teddy 👍🏻

We need a teddy and mike podcast !!! Get him on teddy!

I'm so happy to see and hear this.

Your station is growing! Keep it up. You'll be much more influential than you already are in just one short year. Love the content.

Mike is a great example of dealing with the shadow self and represents wholeness, his potential of ripping your head off to hugging an enemy. Mike is not only a great man he is a great teacher.

Mike Tyson, a genuine man with great heart.

Teddy he meant it.. He's trying to heal his soul and he's actually taking responsibility for his past actions that he regrets. Take it for what it is. No conspiracy theories

Mike is impressing me more now than when he was at the peak of his fighting powers. Waaaaay more!! I'm loving this chapter of his story!!!

Bro i even felt that hug. He meant that apology. Im glad and i hope you guys can do something together. Not worth living in pain and anger

You could see Mike was sincere when he went in to hug Teddy! I bet if they were alone together they would talk for hours!

I was watching that broadcast monumental moment I cried was so happy to see them come to this point in life where all the old things no longer matter no hate from you none from me lets just live out the act to finality!

Teddy straight from old school of boxing. Didn't put up with no BS when he was younger. Always great to listen to his wisdom.

Teddy this is such a powerfull message on many levels. Most important, no matter what everybody says or thinks about that moment. You trusted you're own feelings, no matter what other people say.. Thanks for making the people remember that important message... Blessings from the Netherlands

He realized his career went south when he discarded Teddy and Kevin from his corner. Truth be told, Tyson got lazy with his training.

This makes me so incredibly happy, man. I’ve been wanting them to have an honest face to face and have a chance to make amends.

I love that Teddy calls things as they are!!!

Teddy was not only Mike's best trainer he truly cared for him. Nice to see Mike humble enough to apologise. These two together were once unstoppable.

Teddy is a national treasure and should be awarded the medal of freedom.

I’ve been at Tysons fan my whole life. At times there I honestly thought it wasn’t gonna make it, not make it in life in general that is I thought he was gonna self-destruct end up as a tragic story a tragic cautionary tale. But to see how he has turned his life around and not only flourished is truly inspirational. Kudo’s to Mike Tyson for showing it’s never too late to grow never too late to turn your life around

You guys were and still are Mike's family & he knows this. You guys raised him. God Bless All of You.

Well, I never thought I would hear Teddy finally say something half decent about Tyson. Wonders never cease.

I always wondered about Teddy and Mike and if they reconcilled. Thanks for giving me closure!~

Great stories!

Best thing in the world when you do something like this and move forward in life. Mike Tyson is back as Iron Mike.💯💯💯

Tyson used the peek a boo style on Teddy

Do it for CUS! Don't let him roll in his grave any longer. He would want it too.

Very classy of you Teddy, God bless you my brother. 🙌🙏

Myself, along with many others deal with the past differently. It torments us and its not as easy as just growing a pair. When we know we have done bad, it plagues our minds and we must find the courage within ourselves to forgive, but also tell the soul whom we cause harm to that we are sorry. It doesn't matter what you may have said to us behind our backs after the incident, we deserved it and most of us find closure in facing the past in order to move on to the future. To people that don't know this experience, its like a mental illness. You tell yourself you deserve no joy until you have suffer enough. The problem is that you dont know the right amount of suffering, thus you take weeks/months/years off your life because you feel like its the right thing to do, or if you believe in a higher power/karma, suffering in those moments will soften the blow later in life. It doesn't, we are all destined to suffer and feeling like you can curve it by thinking you're in control will waste your life. I truly think Mike was sincere. Terry may have not seen the transformation that he has undergone throughout the years and hell, even Holyfield forgave him after biting his ear off! In the way Terry talks about this, it sounded like these thoughts were never on his mind, yet Mike suffer so long with this burden. I am glad there is some closure, but i dont see Terry wanting to rebuild that bond again and that is okay. Mike needed this for his sanity, and i am sure that Terry is happy that he is admitting he was wrong.

After seeing Tyson on Joe Rogan's podcast I know that he is at least trying and I believe everyone needs closure and peace in their lives.

Teddy whats the time ? ........" Well u know , I was watching the news this morning and u know , your sitting down ready to eat breakfast , theyre getting ready to go on air and in them conditions you understand what time it is , in the morning , because the weather man don't come on till a quarter to 10 , so judging by them decisions you understand the time may be 9.45 or even 9.50 who knows ! But fast forward to right now and the question you just asked me , the time is 12:48 !

I was never a Tyson hater ! I was grateful for all the exciting moments he gave us , and understood how crazy his life must have been to have such fame and wealth at such a early age! So happy he survived, and so thankful he matured into the man he is today !

That's like saying, "don't wanna distract you but, there's a 1200lbs grizzly behind ya" 😂🤣😅

Emotions sometimes are very Difficult to articulate properly, especially for certain Men. I totally get Teddy Here. I never heard about the Apology. This is awesome.

Teddy you're the man. I love listening to your analysis and respect your outlook on life and the way you deal with people. Dont over complicate things. Be a man and if you feel someone is sincere follow your instincts. Respect to you and Mike.

Teddy You are the Best And handled the moment appropriately

This is such an interesting story, not only for the people involved, but for just regular people watching. A human being's ego is a very powerful thing, yet very fragile. it takes a big man to sincerely apologize, but an even bigger man to accept it.

Been hoping we'd hear this story. Looking forward to taking a break from the sad news to watch more Teddy, Ken and Rob, hear more about these amazing boxers that risk their lives in a dangerous sport and continue to entertain us in many ways.

TEDDY AND MIKE DO A PODCAST FOR CUS. DO IT FOR POPS 🙏

Teddy really knows how to make a 3 minute story into a 9 minute story
