"Iron" Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr

[BXNGCNTRL]

Mike Tyson has explained why he’s given up smoking marijuana ahead of his upcoming fight with Roy Jones Jr on November 28.

The 54-year-old is making a comeback for an exhibition bout against his 51-year-old rival and preparing his body for war again.

Tyson has undergone electric shock muscle therapy ahead of the fight as one of many modern techniques to ensure he’s ready to box again.

In the most recent years of his retirement, ‘Iron Mike’ has launched his own cannabis company Tyson Holistic Holdings and Tyson Ranch.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion struggled for years with substance abuse including cocaine, but said he found comfort in marijuana.

Earlier this year he revealed he smokes around $40,000 worth per month, but that has now come to a halt.

When asked if he’s still smoking now his fight is set, Tyson said on the Joe Rogan podcast: “Pretty much stopped, when you do something like this it’s all about change.

“Listen, you can’t continue being a comedian if you’re not sharpening your psyche,” he explained to the UFC commentator, who is also a stand-up comic.

“Even when you’re doing this here, you’re practising your comedian act.

“You have to continue to practice.”

Regarding whether he misses the drug, Tyson replied: “I understand the discipline of this stuff.

“What I don’t like about it is that without cannabis I just get mean. I don’t like the mean stuff, I don’t like it.

“I might snap at my wife or my kids, that’s what I don’t like.

“Sometimes I get caught up into my ego, it’s just a struggle but I’m working on it.

“I never worked on it before, so that’s a start, right?”

Mikey doesn't need to smoke a joint to check his mean streak. Fight a HW, they'll do it for him. Send him right back to the ganga farm as the resident weed-head. What a joke if he is taking a fight with Roy Jones as anything other than what he claimed: for charity.
Please Roy get back on the ripped fuel and find some reflexes and run around that ring until Mike's asthma and years of weed smokin' kicks in.

Mike has always had a certain degree of sort of Street philosophy entertainment value, but I think we've seen that over and over now over the past 10 years and it has gotten old

He really hasn't probably changed as much as he claims he has

Nobody wants to hear what riddick bowe says and nobody wants to hear what evandir holyfield says and nobody cares what Larry Holmes says but for some reason everybody wants to hear Mike Tyson "philosophize"

Weird

Roy Jones Jr. says he may have ‘made a mistake’ agreeing to fight with Mike Tyson

It seems that Jones has had a change of heart about heading to the ring to fight Tyson

Two months ahead of their scheduled head-to-head, boxer Roy Jones Jr. is admitting he may have “made a mistake” when he agreed to fight in an exhibition with former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson.

According to reports, Jones and Tyson were originally supposed to fight this month, but promoters pushed the exhibition back to attract a larger audience.

Now the duo is set to compete in an unofficial bout on Nov. 28 in Carson, California.

But over the weekend the former four-weight world-champion boxer expressed reservations about the fighting the now 54-year-old former heavyweight champion, who he knows won’t take it easy on him.

“When it comes time to fight, we’re going to fight,” Jones said. “If it comes down to bite, we’re going to bite. Whatever has to happen is going to happen. That’s just what it is.”

He added: “He’s still Mike Tyson. He’s still one of the strongest, most explosive people who ever touched a boxing ring. If anything, I made a mistake going in with him. He’s the bigger guy. He’s the explosive guy.”

“He’s going to have all the first-round fireworks, not me,” the 51-year-old predicted. “I do have first-round fireworks, but he’s known for more first-round fireworks than anybody to ever touch boxing, other than maybe George Foreman.”

“With him having the first-round fireworks, he’ll be against a guy smaller than him, maybe 40-50 pounds smaller than him.”

Considering Tyson’s recent comments about the event, Jones’ concerns may be well deserved.

“We’re throwing punches at each other. This is going to be my definition of fun … broken eye sockets, broken jaw, broken rib. That’s fun to me,” Tyson recently said during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.

If he were to change his mind & opt out, no-one would hold him accountable. Why should they. This is the ultimate bully move; A HW training hard to fight a LHW/Cruiser known at the end of his career for getting KTFO'd with one shot by cruisers, not heavies.
Please opt out RJJ.
