Mike Tyson reveals he was stoned when he beat the Pole Golota!

Mike Tyson, the scariest man on the planet who terrified his opponents, makes no secret of his love for marijuana. Tyson admitted in an interview that he hasn’t always fought completely clean.

Tyson publicly admits his love of marijuana

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson hasn’t boxed for a long time. The last time he did so was in November 2020 in a two-veteran exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr. Now he is active mainly in the media or on social media, where he hosts podcasts with former or current athletes from the world of martial arts.

In the aforementioned podcasts, he often enjoys his moments by smoking marijuana, an activity that was obviously limited in his active career. Well, not really, as Tyson has admitted to fighting at least one fight under the influence of a banned substance.

In the interview, he recalled his dominant victory over Poland’s Golota

In 2020, Tyson’s opponent was Polish fighter Andrew Golota, who, like Tyson, did not enter the fight with a clean slate. In fact, Tyson bit off his opponent’s ear in a rematch with Evander Holyfield and was criticized in subsequent fights for giving away punches even after the final bell of the round. Golota, on the other hand, was disqualified in previous fights for hitting below the belt.

The duel at a packed The Palace in Michigan was filled with boxing fans’ anticipation as it always has been for Tyson. But “Iron Mike” destroyed Golota in such a way that the Pole refused to enter the third round.

After a dominant first round, Tyson landed some of his famous punches that shook the Polish fighter’s courage and organs. The latter went down in the first round, but still withstood the onslaught of his fierce opponent. In the second round he tried to tie up the aggressive Tyson thanks to his height advantage, but quite clearly Tyson scored this round as well.

In a devastating win over Golota, Tyson was under the influence of marijuana

Then at the break, Golota refused to come out for the third round, which his coaches didn’t like and encouraged their charge to keep fighting.

But a shaken Golota stood his ground and the fight was stopped. After the fight, it was discovered that Tyson’s punches had done a lot of damage to his opponent. He did in fact inflict a fractured cheekbone, a concussion and a neck injury on the Pole.

The dominant win was later overturned because Tyson refused a post-fight test for banned substances. Tyson later admitted to smoking marijuana before the fight. ” When I fought Golota, it was the only time I smoked pot and fought,” he said , according to Sport Bible.

Although marijuana is perceived to have more of an effect that dulls the attention of users. But it had somewhat the opposite effect on Tyson and especially his opponents. ” It didn’t affect me, it affected Golota,” the former champion joked. “I was fined a couple hundred dollars for that stuff,” he confirmed of the punishment for using banned substances.

tyson, 55, is now completely open about marijuana being the love of his life and revealed a few years ago that he has a cannabis ranch. He reportedly smokes around 900,000 CZK worth of weed a month.
