The legendary pro boxer Mike Tyson is one of the biggest stars in the history of the sport. He has bouts with drugs and similar materials. The former world champion boxer recently has admitted he was a ‘mess’ when he appeared on live television in 2020 and appeared to fall asleep.
Mike Tyson reveals the truth about the incident
Tyson spoke to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid in October 2020 on Good Morning Britain. During the interview, Tyson slurred his words and dipped his head on a couple of occasions as if he was asleep. However, in an interview with Piers Morgan uncensored on Talk TV, he confirmed he was in a bad way after he had taken painkillers that had been given to him by his wife Lakiha Spicer.
When Morgan showed a conversation of the aforementioned chat on Good Morning Britain, Tyson laughed and explained what had gone on.
Tyson said:
”Hey listen. I had hurt myself at that particular time. I was training and something happened and I hurt myself. I received some painkillers from my wife and after I received these I was incapable of articulating anything, it was just a mess. It was my fault everybody.”
"After I received these painkillers, I was incapable of articulating anything."

And the 56-year-old revealed he was high on drugs, had been smoking marijuana all day at a festival in San Francisco that was celebrating the drug being legalized.
He explained:
”First of all, I came from this place called Hippy Hill, 60,000 people were there smoking cannabis. So, by the time I’m on the plane, I’m hungry, high and tired ok. And this guy keeps antagonising me. And then I came to my senses and kicked his f***king a**. I’m only joking. I wish I did kick his a**. My bodyguard jumped on top of him and I’m hitting my bodyguard, which I am sorry [for].”
