Tyson also had to give up cannabis to comply with fight rules enforced by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
During his interview on “The Damon Elliott Show” on April 27, he revealed the nearly three weeks he’s gone without weed or sexual intercourse.
“Two and a half weeks I haven’t smoked,” Tyson said. “And I haven’t had sex for 2-and-a-half weeks.”
He shared the same reveal, just with a different timeline, when he spoke about his cannabis business ventures and preparation for the highly anticipated boxing match.
“Right now, I’m living my life disciplined. It’s been six weeks that I haven’t gotten high or had sex,” Tyson told Forbes Life in a story published the same day as his Dame Elliot interview. “I haven’t done that since I was a little kid.”
“I hate not being able to smoke. But I’m doing it like I love it; I hate not being able to sleep with my wife, but I’m doing it like I love it,” he added.
Tyson credits his ability to sacrifice to the “discipline” he’s acquired in his older years.
“I’m living my life disciplined now, so I’m going to have to fight disciplined now,” he said.
His publicist confirmed that Tyson gave up marijuana to comply with rules in the fight enforced by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Cannabis is among the banned substances.
“It’s going to be all over the planet. We want everybody to know our names. Know our product. Know the product’s value,” Tyson says of his cannabis company. “It’s like a dream come true.”
