While on Jake Paul’s brother Logan Paul on the Impaulsive podcast Tuesday (Aug. 20), Mike Tyson and the hosts began to discuss drugs.
Tyson, who has been no stranger to talking about his use of the psychedelic drug, was asked about mushrooms before he pulled a bag of dried shrooms from his back pocket. He was then asked if he would be taking them that day, and he confirmed,
“I have to take them when I train. I always train with my mushrooms.”
He reiterated,
“I train on mushrooms. Because I feel beautiful. They take me to Heaven, baby.”
Tyson was originally scheduled to fight Jake Paul over the summer, however, it was postponed after Tyson had a health scare in May.

His representative later said that it was due to Tyson having an ulcer flare-up while on an American Airlines flight.
Tyson previously expressed excitement about getting in the ring with Jake Paul and said in a statement via Netflix,
“I’m very much looking forward to stepping into the ring with Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas … He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a ‘kid’ can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT. It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch.”
