?I?m in a real dark mood,? Mike Tyson told Matt Lauer. ?I think of dying. And I don?t know if I want to be around no more.? The troubled former boxer was on the Today show Thursday morning, giving his first interview since he announced that he was a ?vicious alcoholic.? Tyson confessed his struggles with sobriety ? noting that he has been sober for 12 days ? and admitted that he needs help. ?I won?t survive [without it],? he said. Tyson (whose days as the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world seem like they were several lifetimes ago) is trying to hold himself together as he promotes his memoir, an upcoming HBO special and a documentary series on Fox Sports 1. ?No one has failed more than I did,? he said. ?I?m the king of the barbarians.?
