Mike Tyson partied with Jake Paul on New Years Eve in the Caribbean with the former heavyweight claiming the pair took 'magic mushrooms' together.
The pair were reported to have agreed to fight each other in an exhibition clash in Las Vegas later this year. But both stars denied the claims with Tyson insisting he has no plans to follow up his comeback bout against Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
Tyson has now revealed the pair celebrated alongside a host of VIPs including Leonardo Di Caprio and Jeff Bezos, while 'smoking' together. "I’ve been smoking with him forever, I did some shrooms with him as well," Tyson said on the latest episode of his Hotboxin' podcast. "I was with him in St. Barts not too long ago partying."
The legendary heavyweight has spoken of his fondness for Paul in the past and the pair met at the event to see in the new year. Paul and Tyson were filmed greeting each other and having a laugh together, as they crossed paths during the night. They later both said that no potential fight was ever discussed.
The party featured a star-studded line-up including hip-hop artist Drake, acting royalty Leonardo Di Caprio and Amazon's Jeff Bezos. The event was held on a $150million yacht called Vava II which spans over 350 feet and welcomed celebrity guests at around 1:30am.
Official hosts of the event were 'club king' Richie Akiva, Ernesto Bertarelli, and Darren Dzienciol who initially started the event with a more civilised sit-down dinner for the celebrities which moved to a bigger party event later in the evening. A whole host of other high-profile atendees were present including musicians Dua Lipa, Nick Jonas and Dixie D'Amelio.

None of the musicians performed on the night with rappers Lil Baby and Meek Mill instead taking to the stage where Paul was said to have sneaked in to the DJ booth to party alongside the music stars. The stars reportedly flew into and out of Gustaf III Airport in St. Jean on the island.
The opulent party was said to have not reached its conclusion until the early hours of New Years Day at around 9am or 10am, when the 500 guests who were reportedly in attendance began to leave the mega-yacht. Tyson has been known for his partying lifestyle throughout his life and career.
He previously announced he would return to the ring in February this year raising the chances of meeting one of the Paul brothers in the boxing ring. However he has later dismissed any future exploit in the ring and believes it would take an offer in the region of $1billion for him to consider stepping beyond the ropes again.
