One of the most renowned boxers of our era, Mike Tyson returned to action after a long time. He took on another legend, Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition boxing match. The fight went up to eight rounds and ended up in a draw, but the people were thrilled to see both the guys putting on a spectacular show.
In the post-match interview, Mike Tyson admitted that he smoked Marijuana right before his fight with Roy Jones Jr. Tyson says, “Listen, I can’t stop smoking, I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke. I’m sorry. I’m a smoker, I smoke every day. I never stopped smoking. It’s just who I am, It has no effect on me from a negative standpoint. It’s just what I do and how I am and how I’m going to die. There’s no explanation. There’s no beginning. There’s no end.”
This fight was although a show fight and both the fighters also underwent a voluntary drug test so that it can be found out that any of them may not use any of the PEDs. But Marijuana isn’t on the list of these banned substances.

“It started with me fighting Bob Sapp, that was going to be the first fight,” Tyson said. “The fight with Roy Jones was supposed to be with Bob Sapp,” Tyson continued. “Roy Jones got involved, other fighters got involved, Holyfield got involved and it turned into a fiasco.
