Mike Tyson admits he smoked cannabis before Roy Jones Jr fight as 54-year-old legend reveals he ‘can’t stop’
MIKE TYSON admitted he smoked cannabis before his comeback fight against Roy Jones and revealed: 'I can't stop'.
The heavyweight legend boxed to a draw on Saturday night in what turned out to be a bizarre eight-round exhibition bout.
Both men - who had a combined age of 105 - were drug tested by Voluntary Anti-Doping Association beforehand.
But cannabis was not included and 54-year-old Tyson took full advantage with a pre-fight blaze.
He revealed: “Listen, I can’t stop smoking.
“I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke. I’m sorry. I’m a smoker.
"I smoke every day. I never stopped smoking.”
Tyson would have appreciated the undercard performances as Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa appeared to smoke a blunt on stage.
Many felt the iconic puncher - fighting for the first time in 15 years - should have got the win on points.
But he warned fans it will not be the last of him as he plots more fights on his comeback trail.
He said: "I’m just happy I got this under my belt.
“I’m continuing to go further and do more. Absolutely.
"We gotta do this again."
