Mike Tyson admits to being on magic mushrooms during Roy Jones comeback fight

Mike Tyson admits he would never have fought Roy Jones Jr in his comeback exhibition bout if he hadn't been on magic mushrooms.

The legendary heavyweight champion made his return to the ring in November 2020 as part of a pay-per-view fight with Jones in Los Angeles. The pair went the distance to a draw, with over one million fans paying to watch the spectacle live in what was Triller's debut in the boxing market.

And Tyson has admitted he was on drugs for the fight, saying that he "couldn't feel punches" that were landing during the eight-round contest. The boxing icon is a major advocate for mushrooms, even taking a handful on camera during an appearance on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast the month after his fight with Jones.
