Training camp for his ring return has been gruelling for the fan favourite, who recently admitted it’s taken its toll on his body.

Iron Mike has been making use of marijuana and MAGIC MUSHROOMS to help his body get through his latest fight camp.

And the Hall Famer has claimed he may be as high as a kite for his punch-up with Paul as he doesn’t plan to stop smoking the wacky baccy before the fight.

When asked by Jimmy Kimmel if he’ll be high during the bout, Tyson responded: “I’m gonna be so high off life, yeah.”

Kimmel prodded further, asking the boxing legend: “Will you be high on marijuana, as well?”

And Tyson admitted: “That’s a possibility, too.”

Tyson could be banned from competing by the Texas Athletic Commission if he tests positive for marijuana as the drug is on the sanctioning body’s list of prohibited substances.

Boxing fans are concerned for the former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ ahead of his Dallas dust-up with Paul, who is 31 YEARS his junior.

Many believe the huge payday he’ll receive for the Netflix bout is his primary motivator for lacing up his gloves again.

But the New Yorker insists that’s not the case, recently admitting: “I’m a glory junkie.

“I love people thinking about me all day.

“I’d rather live a short life of glory than a long life of obscurity. It’s just who I am.

“This is all I started fighting for—to get all this f***ing status.

“I’m going to be chasing it for the rest of my life. I know that.

“I’m never going to get what I want, because I’m one of those gluttons for pain. I can never get enough.”
