Boxing legend Mike Tyson believes his career could have been even better if he had taken psychedelic drugs.
The 56-year-old went 50-6 in his boxing career but revealed he believes he could have done even better with the help of drugs.
Tyson joined the ‘TMZ Sports’ show on Friday and revealed that he wishes he had experimented with psychedelics during his career.
“Psychedelics are more of an enhancement than a de-enhancement,” he said. “It allows you to go into that realm of just comfort, relaxation and prepare to reach your highest level. It’s just a great feeling.’
He revealed that he had used psychedelics during a recent training session and when asked if using them would have made him more ‘dangerous’ in the ring, he replied, ‘Yes. Yes. A better fighter. I wish I did it in my prime.’

The icon also said he would recommend mushrooms and weed to all athletes, claiming that they are living proof that they work.
“I’m able to talk to anyone in the sports world because that’s really where it’s needed,” said Tyson.
‘We always thought cannabis was a de-enhancer, made you tired, made you weak, but it actually made you more alert and eager to learn about your field, about your profession.’
NFL star Aaron Rodgers admitted to using ayahuasca last year and continued to endorse it throughout the season.
The new Jets quarterback has already achieved a lot professionally. The four-time MVP is a former Super Bowl winner and one of the most popular athletes in America’s favorite professional sport.

Instead, Rodgers said, tripping has helped him “see the other side,” making “the idea of death more of a transition and less of an ending.”
Tyson also revealed on Saturday that attending Jake Paul’s fight with Tommy Fury earlier this year prompted him to return to boxing.

“I’ve always wanted to be a fighter. That’s all I wanted to do all my life, be a fighter, nothing else.
“I miss this stuff, I didn’t think I would miss it until I got to the weigh-in in Saudi Arabia for [Paul-Fury].
“You miss being the center of attention.”
