Mike Tyson is making a major lifestyle change ahead of his big fight with Jake Paul.
Tyson is scheduled to make his return to action on July 20th when he faces Paul in an exhibition that will air on Netflix.
This will be the boxing legend's first appearance since November 2020, when he faced Roy Jones Jr.
Fans and critics alike slammed the Tyson-Paul feud after current heavyweight star Anthony Joshua made his feelings known.
The 57-year-old has been posting first-person training workouts online and seems to be in great shape.
He also plans to quit smoking marijuana in preparation for their summer showdown and is ramping up preparations for his return to the ring.
Tyson, an avid cannabis smoker, owns a cannabis farm and plans to give Paul some hash before his fight.
When I asked her about her habits, she said, “I don't know, maybe it has something to do with my tripolar tendencies or something.
“But I don't think I'm going to smoke for this game. I think I'm going to be very frustrated and mean.”

Asked if he ingests cannabis-infused sweets himself before a fight, he said, “Usually I do, but I think I'm going to go pretty graphic naked for this fight.
“I'm 58 years old, so what? I get billions of views just by talking to someone about fighting.”
Tyson also slammed “jealous” people who criticize his fight with Paul.
“Everyone is jealous, even most of the athletes. It's terrible,” he exclaimed. “They say they didn't have a million people in their heyday, what are you talking about, you couldn't fill an arena.
“Who at 58 years old could fill an 80,000-seat arena? Why would he think that? [Paul] You want to fight me and not anyone else? ”
