The former world heavyweight boxing champion, Mike Tyson, has revealed that he was addicted to smoking Indian hemp (Marijuana) to the extent of using his wife’s urine samples to evade drug test during his fights.
He also admitted being “high” during his fight with Roy Jones Jr.
Recall that the former champ started a marijuana company after leaving the boxing world behind. So, it should not come as surprise that Tyson claimed that he was high during his fight with Roy Jones Jr.
“Absolutely yes… Listen, I can’t stop smoking,” he told reporters after the fight.
“I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke, I’m sorry. I’m a smoker. … I smoke everyday. I never stopped smoking.”
Tyson said that smoking and him were a package deal and that it never affected his abilities in the ring, as reported by yahoo.
“It’s just who I am,’’ he said. “It has no effect on me from a negative standpoint. It’s just what I do and how I am and how I’m going to die. There’s no explanation. There’s no beginning, there’s no end.”
In a coincidence that either proves the universe is beautiful or the simulation is glitching, a faded Tyson had his fight commentated on by none other than Snoop Dogg. The rapper’s asides, jokes and songs spread quickly on social media, with some viewers calling on Snoop to become a sportscaster full-time.
If Tyson wants to keep fighting, he’s proven more than adept at passing drug tests. He recently shared that he used his baby’s urine to pass a test after his wife worried that her urine would come back pregnant.
“One time I was using my wife’s [urine] and my wife was like, ‘Baby, you better not hope that it comes back pregnant or something.’ And I said, ‘Nah, so we ain’t gonna use you any more, we’re gonna use the kid,” he shared.
