MIKE TYSON admitted he will be taking MAGIC MUSHROOMS while training for his fight against Jake Paul.
The heavyweight legend faces the YouTuber-turned-boxer on November 15 in Texas in a controversial clash scrutinised for the age gap.
Tyson had to pull out of the initial July 20 date amid a health precaution having suffered an ulcer flare up in his stomach.
But he is now back in training and featured on Paul’s brother Logan’s Impaulsive podcast after a press conference to promote the bout.
Tyson was asked about his love for marijuana and magic mushrooms.
And Iron Mike made the shock revelation that he is still taking both while training to fight Paul.

He said: “I have to take them when I train. I always train on my mushrooms. I train on mushrooms.
“I feel so beautiful, it takes me to heaven, baby.”
Both Tyson, 58, and Paul, 27, will be subjected to drug testing before and after their bout which also marks Netflix’s first move into live boxing.
But Tyson will also have to pass a EKG and an EEG – brain and heart tests – as he is over the age of 36.

Tyson retired in 2005 but did make a comeback in 2020 for an eight-round exhibition with Roy Jones Jr that ended a draw.
Boxing’s youngest heavyweight champion of all time – just 20 when he won the belt in 1986 – claimed he was on mushrooms against Jones.
And he admitted it could be no different against 10-1 Paul.
Tyson revealed: “If I’m not on mushrooms I’ll be on… residue of mushrooms. I won’t be on mushrooms I’ll be on residue of mushrooms.”
