Mike Tyson confesses:

“Was born an addict – I’m a junkie”

In the podcast "Come and talk 2 me", boxing legend Mike Tyson opened up about his marijuana addiction. "I've smoked weed all my life, I was born an addict - I'm a junkie," the US American made no secret of his addiction.

However, as Tyson is currently preparing for his fight with Jake Paul, the US-American Youtuber, he has to keep his hands off the weed - also because the consumption of marijuana is strictly prohibited in Texas, where the event will take place on November 15 at the AT&T Stadium.

"Have eaten mushrooms"
"Iron Mike" obviously can't completely do without the high of drugs, at least he revealed in the podcast: "I ate mushrooms before I came here."

Tyson and Paul were actually supposed to let their fists fly back in June, before the fight had to be canceled due to a stomach ulcer in the 58-year-old. As reported by "World Boxing News", both boxers will again be checked 24 hours before the fight to see if they are fit enough. Should this not be the case, the fight could be downgraded from a professional fight to a show fight, or even canceled altogether.
