During his post-fight press conference, Tyson, 54, shared how he was able to stay focus during the fight, revealing that he smoked weed before the big showdown!
“Listen, I can’t stop smoking,” Tyson said after his first professional fight in 15 years, per USA Today. “I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke, I’m sorry. I’m a smoker. I smoke every day. I never stopped smoking.” He went on to explain, “It’s just who I am. 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. It just numbs me. It doesn’t numb the pain.”
Of course, this comes as no surprise that Tyson regularly smokes as he has a long history of marijuana use and he’s also the owner of a 40-acre marijuana farm in California.
