Mike Tyson is a legendary figure in the boxing world. He is currently gearing up for a monumental return to the ring against Jake Paul at the iconic AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This clash was scheduled for July 20 and has surprised the entire sporting community. This marks Tyson’s first foray into professional boxing since his retirement in 2005.
Despite a 31-year age difference between the two contenders, Tyson’s commitment to the sport remains unwavering. He last competed in an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.

In preparation for the upcoming match, Tyson has intensified his training regimen. He recently revealed that he is training three times a day.
In a recent interview with Forbes, Tyson disclosed his newfound discipline, renouncing indulgences such as weed and intimacy.
Tyson stated: “Right now, I’m living my life disciplined now. So, I’m at the fight discipline now. It’s probably [been] six weeks [that] I haven’t gotten high or had s*x.”
When asked about his motivation for abstaining from cannabis and intimacy, Tyson emphasized the significance of discipline in achieving one’s goals.
He remarked: “It’s just discipline. You know, discipline is doing what you love to do, what you love to do, doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it. 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.”
“Discipline is doing what you love to do, what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it. 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.”
Tyson said that he has not abstained from using cannabis or intimacy for this long since he was a child. He will make his ring comeback in an exhibition match. It will not be scored, and the number of rounds will be announced later.
