Mike Tyson says\u00a0he\u2019s given up more than marijuana\u00a0while preparing for his\u00a0fight against Jake Paul.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The former heavyweight champion also said he\u2019s given up sex.<\/p>\n
“Two and a half weeks I haven\u2019t smoked,” Tyson said during an interview on The Damon Elliott Show. “And I haven\u2019t had sex for 2\u00bd weeks.”<\/p>\n
A video of the undated interview was posted on YouTube on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In an videotaped interview with Forbes Life, Tyson said it’d been even longer \u2013 \u201cprobably for six weeks I haven\u2019t gotten high or had sex.”<\/p>\n
Tyson, 57, told Forbes his giving up marijuana and sex is connected with discipline\u00a0as he prepares to face Paul, 27, in a\u00a0bout scheduled for July 20\u00a0at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m living my life disciplined now, so I\u2019m going to have to fight disciplined now,” he said.<\/p>\n
Tyson, during a 2018 TV interview, said he\u2019d abstained from sex for about five years, apparently because he believed it would make him a better boxer.<\/p>\n
“I’m an idiot, you know,” he told Graham Bensinger during the interview back then. “\u2026 I just went by what people told me.”<\/p>\n
Tyson\u2019s publicist told USA TODAY Sports the boxer was giving up marijuana to comply with rules in the fight with Paul. Marijuana is on the list of banned substances enforced by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, which oversees combat sports in Texas.<\/p>\n
