Mike Tyson credited a psychedelic drug concoction known as toad venom for his much anticipated return to the ring.
“I took the medicine and the medicine told me to get into shape,” Tyson said Friday of the drug 5-MeO-DMT during his weigh-in USA Today reported. “It really blew my mind. It told me to come back and start getting in shape.”
The former heavyweight boxing champion — now 54 — will fight his first match in 15 years against Roy Jones Jr. in an eight-round exhibition show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
In a nod to coronavirus restrictions, the fight will not allow spectators but will be broadcast on pay-per-view for $49.99.
Jones, 51, said during his own weigh in he had no intention of underestimating his opponent, the paper reported.
