Mike Tyson isn't hiding anything when it comes to his recent fight against Roy Jones Jr. Tyson, 54, told reporters he smoked cannabis just before the fight.
“Absolutely yes… Listen, I can't stop smoking,” the former heavyweight champion of the world told reporters after his first fight in 15 years. “I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke, I'm sorry. I'm a smoker. … I smoke everyday. I never stopped smoking.”
The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association tested both fighters for performance enhancing drugs before the fight, which ended in an unofficial draw. Weed was not on the list of banned substances.
"It's just who I am,'' Tyson 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.”
Tyson is involved in the recreational and medicinal marijuana industry and even has a school that teaches farmers to grow and maintain specific strains.
