Mike Tyson is not a nice guy, and he is not at peace. Those are his words. The words of a former world heavyweight champion. The words of a brutal fighter once proclaimed (fairly) as the “baddest man on the planet”. The words of a fighter who chewed a chunk out of an opponent’s ear. The words of a father, husband, podcaster and convicted criminal. There was a time when Tyson was a simple being – 40 years ago, perhaps. So purely violent and destructive was the boxer that he was arguably as one-dimensional as he was single-minded. Nowadays, things are more complicated. The American, who still holds the record for being boxing’s youngest-ever world heavyweight champion, is older now. The 58-year-old did his time in prison — from 1992 to 1995 after being convicted of rape, plus nine months in 1999 for assaulting two motorists — and served his ban for biting into Evander Holyfield’s ear. Despite his troubled past, Tyson is loved by many boxing fans for the memories he gave them during his prime; he’s treasured for the sense of wonderment he drilled through their TV screens and into their living rooms with vicious, merciless strikes in the 80s and 90s. Punches that altered the lives of Tyson’s opponents and audiences, in different ways.

The CEA was in conversation with economist Prachi Mishra at the ET India Ascends event. While capital has flooded into the US markets over the past week in the aftermath of Trump’s victory, “I'm not entirely sure that this will sustain over a very long term,” he said. “Because even before this election happened, US stocks were somewhat elevated in valuation, etc., and the Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates. So I think we can give some time for the financial markets to take a breath….”
