Mike Tyson talked about abstaining from sex and drugs ahead of his July 20 fight against Jake Paul. This will be the former heavyweight champ's first fight in nearly four years.
Mike Tyson is putting on muscle, showing off speed and giving up sex and marijuana ahead of his July 20 fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. The 57-year-old appeared on 'The Damon Elliott Show' recently and said he had not smoked or had sex in more than two weeks. It was not clear when the interview was taped. He gave Forbes Life a different timeline on his abstinence from the drug and sex.
Right now, I’m living my life disciplined. It’s been six weeks that I haven’t gotten high or had sex,' he told the outlet in a story published Saturday. 'I haven’t done that since I was a little kid. 'I hate not being able to smoke. But I’m doing it like I love it; I hate not being able to sleep with my wife, but I'm doing it like I love it.' Tyson’s ear-shaped marijuana edibles hit New York dispensaries in March as the fight with Paul was announced.
Roy Jones Jr., the last person to fight Tyson, offered a warning to Paul about the condition the former heavyweight champion is in. 'The first time he hit me in the chest, it felt like a mule had kicked me in the chest,' Jones told Shane Mosley on his YouTube show. 'If he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that.
