Mike Tyson, considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, recently made headlines for his comments about using psychedelics to enhance his fighting abilities during his prime. On the “TMZ Sports” show, Tyson discussed the healing properties of these drugs and how they could have made him a better fighter if he had tried them during his career.
According to Tyson, psychedelics can help a fighter reach their highest level by providing them with comfort, relaxation, and preparation. Tyson even admitted to using psychedelics during a recent training session and expressed his wish that he had tried them during his fighting years. He believes that the drugs could have made him a more dangerous fighter and helped him achieve even more dominance in the ring.

Tyson has expressed that he is currently “chillin’ out” and has no plans to return to the ring, but he has also said that he could be persuaded to fight again. Despite his age, Tyson’s comments about the benefits of psychedelics and cannabis have sparked a conversation about the role of drugs in sports and whether they can truly enhance an athlete’s performance.
