Ahead of his fight against Jake Paul, Mike Tyson has made some surprising revelations about his training regimen and his views on drugs.
In a recent podcast interview with Logan Paul, Tyson admitted to using psychedelic mushrooms as part of his training routine.
“I have to take them, when I train, I always train with my shrooms… I feel. I feel beautiful.”
When asked if he would be under the influence of mushrooms during the fight, Tyson responded with a playful threat, suggesting his opponent might use PCP if he didn’t. He also made a bizarre claim, asserting that dinosaurs invented all drugs:
“I think dinosaurs invented all the drugs… I think they invented invented all the drug problem.”
Paul, who is coming off a victory over Mike Perry, is expected to provide a formidable challenge for the former heavyweight champion.
