      WWE legend Ric Flair opens up about terrifying ordeal of smoking weed with Mike Tyson saying: I thought I DIED

      by

      WRESTLING icon Ric Flair has claimed he nearly “DIED” smoking weed with Mike Tyson.Former undisputed heavyweight champion Tyson is well known for having several high-profile guests join him on his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast.

      But WWE legend Flair once got so high with Tyson that he thought he was going to dieCredit: INSTAGRAM@RICNATUREBOY
      WWE legend Flair was a recent guest on the show at Tyson Ranch in California and, as many guests do, puffed the magic dragon with Iron Mike.
      But in a separate smoking session, the 74-year-old – who has his own strain with Tyson – ended up feeling worse for wear after one too many puffs.
      During an appearance on comedian Theo Von’s podcast, The Nature Boy said: “I actually thought I died.”
      Flair got so high off the reefer that he called one of his pals in a paranoid state.

      He recalled: “All of a sudden… it finally hit three o’clock in the morning and I kinda sat up in a blur and went, ‘I’m back.’
      “I called someone on the phone and said, ‘Is this really you?’ That’s how screwed up I got.”
      Flair likened the effects of his smoking with Tyson to that of his 2017 coma, which he fell into after suffering complications during bowel surgery.
      He recalled telling himself: “I can think. And I don’t think I could think when I was in my coma.”

      Flair got himself in such a state because he tried to go puff for puff with Tyson – who began selling marijuana back in 2016.
      When asked how he got so high, Flair recalled: “I just said, ‘I’m gonna smoke as much as you right now brother.'”
      Boxing icon Tyson recently expanded his multi-million-pound marijuana empire in March by opening a coffee shop in Amsterdam.
      He said after the grand opening: “It’s a dream come true to open our first coffee shop in Amsterdam.
      “The Coffeeshop Tyson 2.0 will immerse fans in a full-on experience where they can enjoy my favourite Tyson 2.0 products the way I do.
      “I’ve tried and tested all of them, and I can’t wait to share some of my most beloved and undefeated goods with Europe.” More

      Amir Khan’s wife Faryal told love rival ‘I’ll slit your throat’ and ‘I hope you die of cancer’ in vicious rant

      by

      AMIR KHAN’s wife Faryal Makhdoom launched into a furious rant at a new love rival linked to her love-rat husband, saying she hoped she would “die of cancer”.The reality star also said she would slit her throat during a screaming telephone conversation with the unnamed woman, who former world ­boxing ­champion Amir met in Dubai.

      In an audio recording heard by The Sun, Faryal, 32, vents: “If you ever contact Amir again, I will slit your f****** throat.
      “You should be scared of me, b*tch, you should be scared of me.”
      She added: “I hope one day you die with cancer, b*tch, okay?
      “Now go hang up. F*** off now. Dumb b*tch.”
      READ MORE ON AMIR KHAN
      Influencer Faryal, who shares three children with the former Team GB star, also boasted about how she is “the biggest Asian” and claimed people are keen to imitate her.
      Faryal ranted: “I’m the biggest Asian, alright, and girls like you look up to me.”
      “And you sleep with married men — b*tch.
      “Have you seen the state of you? You think you look like me? B*tch, you wish you looked like me.”

      While the remarks were not intended as a genuine threat, it’s not the first time Faryal has ranted at another woman targeted by Amir’s flirting.
      Last week, former BBC presenter Suzi Mann revealed that Faryal had sent her “vile and abusive” messages after receiving inappropriate texts from Amir, 36, after a music concert in 2016.
      Ms Mann said: “It was apparent she had gotten hold of his phone and seen all the messages he had been sending me.
      “She then proceeded to message me pretending to be him — which was immediately obvious because she appeared to have, at the time, a few more brain cells than him.”
      Faryal’s latest rant, which has been circulated on TikTok, comes as Amir desperately tries to patch up their troubled ten-year marriage.
      Last month, it was revealed the couple were living apart, basing themselves between their homes in Dubai and the UK, after Amir was caught sexting bridal model and influencer Sumaira, 25.
      He bought his wife a £130,000 ­Mercedes in a bid to win her over, plus posted clips of a family cinema trip, with a camera crew, in an attempt to prove a reconciliation had taken place.
      The Sun revealed last week that the pair were trying to work out their marital problems.

      Anthony Joshua taking ‘astounding’ financial hit after Dillian Whyte fight KO’d and Robert Helenius drafted in

      by

      IT’S Britain’s first Viking invasion for almost 1,000 years but ticket refunds are already on offer and the pay-per-view has been cancelled.Robert Helenius, the Sweden-born Finnish beanpole, has accepted the task of stepping in and fighting Anthony Joshua following Dillian Whyte’s late dope test failure.

      With just seven days to save the show, it was always going to be a struggle for promoter Eddie Hearn and 33-year-old AJ’s management team to find a suitable replacement.
      And they eventually came up with a bloke who boxed just last weekend on the opera stage of a 15th-century castle.
      Helenius was also obliterated inside 40 seconds of his last meaningful fight.
      With speculation over a £47million Saudi Arabia showdown with Deontay Wilder swirling, Joshua was never going to take on a serious challenger.
      READ MORE IN BOXING
      The fact Matchroom are offering punters their cash back on the O2 sell-out while broadcasters DAZN reduced the showdown from a £26.99 fee to its standard subscription is commendable.
      Joshua will also take a massive financial hit after opting to fight when he could have cancelled or delayed the event all together.
      That has ensured the young prospects on the undercard — who have trained and boiled down their weights — get paid.
      This is horrible luck for Joshua, who lost to Andy Ruiz Jr in 2019 when the Mexican was drafted in as a late replacement for Jarrell Miller, who was flagged for a shopping list of steroids.

      Last Wednesday, AJ held a conference call with the British press and over-ran the planned time slot, going in depth on a range of topics and laughing with — and at — some of the press pack.
      This week — despite his own squeaky clean doping record after hundreds of tests — he will face a stream of questions about Whyte, Vada, Ukad, B-samples, strict liability and confidentiality agreements.
      It has been the same since Conor Benn failed two tests and got his October clash with Chris Eubank Jr cancelled.
      Even if the fighter protests — or even later proves — his innocence, a dark cloud hangs over the sport and stinks out every following event until the next scandal strikes.
      Daniel Dubois and Oleksandr Usyk will face the same questions in the next big fight, Liam Smith and Chris Eubank after that.
      While the accused parties get the luxury of confidentiality agreements, clean athletes are left to defend their trade.
      There is one threat Helenius — who was KO’d by one vicious Wilder punch in 2022 — poses to AJ’s reputation and that’s a stinker of a fight.
      On his last trip to the UK in 2017 he ran from Whyte for 12 hard-to-watch rounds and deservedly lost a decision.
      Those fans who show up on Saturday will not stand for the caution AJ showed against Jermaine Franklin in April. He suffered boos as early as the eighth round.
      Read More on The Sun
      Hopefully he rips through Helenius in his old vicious fashion and can then turn his focus on to a serious challenge.
      Otherwise — through no real fault of his own — turning down the Tyson Fury fight in December and taking a pointless match-up with Franklin could come back to haunt him. More

      Andy Ruiz Jr. threw his hat in the ring to fight Joshua while Deontay Wilder’s training partner Gerald Washington was also rumoured to be a potential opponent.
      But Eddie Hearn confirmed it is Helenius who will step into the ring at the O2 Arena on Saturday, despite the 39-year-old fighting just three days ago.
      The Finn beat Mika Mielonen but in his previous clash against one of the world’s best – Wilder – he lasted just one round before he was brutally knocked out.
      Helenius’ record includes defeats to Whyte and Washington in recent years, and many fight fans are furious he has been picked to face Joshua.

      One wrote: “Helenius when Ruiz wanted the smoke is an absolute joke.”
      Another added: “Pathetic. Imagine paying for tickets, travel, and hotel only to be served up this nonsense. Refunds should be given.
      “Boxing has been on a downward trajectory and it continues on that journey. @EddieHearn et al should be embarrassed.”
      A third said: “Another dead rubber, I won’t be watching. He’s just going into the ring to get knocked out and get a pay day. How can you seriously expect to win when you fought 3 days ago?”

      The fight is no longer pay-per-view but Hearn has defended Helenius’ selection, labelling him a “credible” opponent.
      The promoter said: “You go into the wild west of who wants it, who doesn’t.
      “We wanted someone credible, who would come to fight, who we could do a deal with at pace. He’s had big wins and got chinned by Wilder. He boxed on Saturday and got a knockout.”
