fighting fury is plant-based — but it’s not as health-conscious as it sounds.Ahead of fights these days, the legendary once-heavyweight boxing champion fuels up on magic mushrooms and weed, allowing the high to tame his infamous “aggressive” rage in the ring. “I like taking mushrooms and smoking before fighting. I take psychedelics every day, mushrooms,” Tyson, 56, explained to Muscle and Health Magazine this week. The heavy-hitter’s admission to drugging up came just before he was spotted in a wheelchair, being rolled through Miami International Airport by an attendant Tuesday.
The alarming scene closely trailed sights of him using a walking cane, owing to a sciatica flare-up in his back, while in New York City last month. His physical wellness notwithstanding, Tyson told Muscle and Health that weed is his cure-all before working up a sweat.“Cannabis is good to workout on for me. I just wish I was smoking back when I was fighting — I really lost out there from an athlete’s perspective,” added the sports icon, notoriously known for biting off a chuck of opponent Evander Holyfield’s ear during their WBA Heavyweight Championship match in 1997. “If I’d smoked during my boxing career, I probably wouldn’t have been so aggressive,” he continued. Tyson — who was indefinitely suspended from boxing after the bloody attack and has recently returned to the ring — is now posed to roll out his eponymously titled cannabis company Tyson 2.0.As the CEO of the brand, the Brooklyn native is most proud of his best-selling “Mike Bites,” which are THC-laced edibles cheekily named as a nod to his assault on Holyfield, now 56.
