Legendary heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is widely known for his love of marijuana, even launching his own company, Tyson 2.0, to sell it. However, this raises the question of whether Tyson will be under the influence when he steps into the ring against YouTube star Jake Paul for their much-anticipated fight. The two are scheduled to face off on November 15th at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in a ten-round fight that will be broadcast live on Netflix.
While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Tyson was asked whether he had been smoking during his training camp. Tyson responded, “Well, not really, but I have smoked but not anytime soon.” When asked if he would be high during the fight, Tyson humorously claimed, “I’m gonna be so high off life,” but later hinted that it wasn’t entirely out of the question, saying, “That’s a possibility too.”
Concerns have been raised about Tyson’s health, given that he is 58 years old and previously suffered a medical emergency on a flight, which delayed the fight. Despite this, Jake Paul has assured fans that Tyson is “super healthy” and has vowed to go for a knockout, emphasizing the seriousness of a pro fight. Paul aims to wear Tyson down in the later rounds, hoping to capitalize on the former champion’s fatigue.
While Tyson seems relaxed and unfazed, only the fight itself will reveal what unfolds in the ring.
