Mike Tyson has admitted that he was on magic mushrooms during his exhibition fight with Roy Jones Jr in 2020, which left him unable to feel any of his opponent's punches.

The boxing icon returned to the ring for the first time in 15 years in November 2020, taking on fellow great Jones Jr in an eight-round exhibition bout which controversially ended in a draw.

Tyson largely dominated the bout and put on a performance that exceed expectations in Los Angeles. And the heavyweight dubbed as 'the Baddest Man on the Planet' revealed he took psychedelic drugs to help him through the bout.



'We don't use [mushrooms] to run away,' he explained during an appearance on The Pivot podcast, after being asked if his drug advocacy was at times self-medication for other issues.

'It helps me train, it helps me box better. When I'm fighting, I really don't feel the punches. It's really just some f**king magical s**t. You saw me just fight [against Jones]. I was on shrooms.

'I wouldn't fight without them, are you crazy? And some weed. I wish I did this s**t during my career, I'm so f**king mad I didn't know about this s**t. The word drugs is negative.'

Mike Tyson smoked or vaped 5-ME0-DMT and had a complete near death spiritual experience where he met God.

That is an odd reaction to mushrooms and pot, if anything they make sensations and touch more amplified. Maybe he took heroin/opiates, muscle relaxers, and smoked pure Indica or an Indica dominant strain?
 
In my high school (1970s), only the wrestlers were stoners. The football, baseball, and boy's basketball teams were all typical straightedge jocks and their performance was meh. The wrestling team won State Championships. One wrestler always took acid before matches.
 
Tyson was a great boxer and athlete but instead of coming out with such shrooming bs he should clear a doubt I and maybe many other people/fans of his have: Mike in the 80's were you a cocaine user? I don't know but I'm inclined towards a somewhat big yes.

Mike has openly talked about his dark past and the pain he has caused.

Idk what dose he was on while boxing.
But as a martial artist myself i can def see it being helpful if you are in balance with your being.
Im talking about sub gram doses though.
And for people who have already met their fears and faced them at heroic doses.
 
More like coked out ....shrooms tripping and boxing in the ring.....microdosing with no visuals maybe ....full on tripping thats another story ....regardless whatever the substance may be ....chemically enhanced so he never fought on his own endurance and stamina .Fkn cheater!!!
 
I once practiced my boxing on 5 tabs in the mirror. My combos totally flawless
Fair enough.
I was thinking more about being able to handle the pain of blows from an opponent and the necessary pre/post-fight interviews.
Anything above a gram or so of shrooms could at least make the latter difficult for most.
 
Anyone who has worked out on a micro/low dose can probably see how it would be beneficial for boxing.
I'm sure it was a low (sub-1.5g) dose, but I can believe this.
ye totally :)

But screw the dose and your not fighting anyone but a paper bag.

Though the subs around here will have you tripping pretty hard on 1.5g

It was a exchibition match with no drug testing.
Ie not cheating in the context of the event.

If older athletes wants to use gear to be able to make some fun fights then why not?

For pure interest my only good Shroom trip, excluding our native kind which always was guaranteed free of bad trips.

Was indeed the combo of Shrooms with Coke. Not adviseable, but that one line of Cocaine-HCL turned the whole direction from a typical Psylocibine 'bad 'trip to euphoric bliss.

Didn't he very frankly admit this decades ago, how he started snorting it, and then turned to base/cooked coke/crack, and later heroin?

But what happens when you come down from the coke? The one single time I used coke, after taking it orally listening to music I sat down to type, I was not typing or thinking about anything sexual at all and then I became incredibly aroused, and then 30 minutes later when the coke wore off I was super sad, craved more of it, and decided never to use any again.
 
half life is short on that one.

why I dont take it, its waist of money plus I cant make it with out serious chemistry or plant product imported from south america so never really took to it

I find what is needed to make a shroom trip fun if its dark is a seritonine agonist not a dopamine agonist (I find dopamine to dangerous on psychs as my ego can get in the way of me having a safe

and polite for others trip.)

hippy flips are the go MDMA and shrooms cant go wrong really so long as your ok with the MDMA plus they both time well with each other unlike acid.

Ive read that microdosing is getting more common in esp BJJ/submission grappling circles.
I once heard some old school powerlifter talking about some lifter competing high on LSD.
 
I dont agree with them doing this.

imagine your competing and you have just turned 18 so your in the adults.

then some 28 year old on shrooms comes in and has no sense of touch or pain.

they will more than likely hurt you by going to far I would think and ive rolled on mats before :)

I love shrooms and acid but I really dont think we want people competing on drugs as before you know it that will be the only way you can keep up with everyone else

therefor taking peoples freedom of choice from them.
