Mike Tyson is slated to face off against YouTube star Jake Paul this November in a live-streamed bout on Netflix. While their fight was initially scheduled for the summer, it was pushed back after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up. Now, he\u2019s getting back in fighting shape\u2026 and he\u2019s employing a unique training method to pummel the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 this fall. During an August 20 episode of Logan Paul\u2019s IMPAULSIVE podcast, Tyson revealed his big secret in his training regimen, claiming that he \u201calways\u201d prepares for a match on psychedelic mushrooms. In fact, he pulled out a bag of dried mushrooms in the middle of the episode after co-host Mike Majlak asked if he was still taking them during his training camp. \u201cI have to take \u2019em when I train,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cI always train with my mushrooms.\u201d \u201cWait, what?\u201d a shocked Logan asked. \u201cI train with mushrooms,\u201d Tyson repeated. \u201c\u2018Cause I feel beautiful. It takes me to heaven, baby.\u201d Logan went on to ask Mike if he\u2019d still be using mushrooms on the night of his fight with Jake, to which the legend replied: \u201cIf I\u2019m not on mushrooms, I\u2019ll be on residue of mushrooms.\u201d (Topic begins at 14:21) According to ScienceDirect, mushroom residue is the waste substrate that is produced during the processing of mushrooms \u2014 something Tyson says might be in his system come fight night. According to the US Anti-Doping Agency, psilocybin, the psychoactive agent found in magic mushrooms, is not currently banned as a performance-enhancing drug, so it seems that Iron Mike will be playing within the rules for his bout against Jake. This is far from the first time Tyson has opened up about his use of recreational drugs. In fact, he even has his own podcast called Hotboxin\u2019 with Mike Tyson, where the fighting legend often lights up during his conversations with other famous figures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Tyson reveals he\u2019s taking mushrooms while training for Jake Paul fight YouTube: IMPAULSIVEBoxing legend Mike Tyson is taking a rather unique approach in training for his upcoming bout against Jake Paul \u2014 and it involves getting zooted.
