Protein-packed steaks are making him strong again for his comeback against Roy Jones Jr, 51, in Carson, California, on November 28.
Tyson said of his vegan diet: “I stopped because of the training and because of what I wanted my body to look like and the strength that I wanted to poses.
“I only eat elk and bison — wild stuff — and I’m starting to feel fit.
“I realised the stuff that’s good for other people — like kale, vegetables and blueberries — for me is really poisonous.”

Tyson was speaking on the podcast of American comedian Joe Rogan, an amateur hunter.
Rogan told Tyson: “I want to give you some of my elk.
“I’ve got three commercial freezers full. You can have as much as you want.”
