Mike Tyson claims he was high when he performed “the worst beating” KO win of his entire career.

After a wild boxing career, Tyson eventually found a new outlet in life – the “Tyson Ranch”, a 420-acre cannabis ranch in California. The legendary boxer runs the ranch and has claimed he and his friends smoke “10 tons of weed on the ranch a month amounting to roughly $40 grand.”

Whether it’s true or not, one thing is certain about Tyson, he was already smoking weed even during his boxing days. In fact, Tyson has repeatedly stated in the past the he has entered the ring a few times high on weed. But on a recent appearance on T.I.’s podcast, the 53-year-old Hall of Famer revealed that he was actually high when he performed the “worst beating” KO win of his career, Daily Star reported.

“Once in my life. I got fined $250,000 though. [Against] Andrew Golota. I displayed the worst beating in the history of my career. Breaking bones, eye sockets, cheek bones, necks,” Tyson said when asked if he ever fought while under the influence of cannabis.

“Weed is who I am, I don’t hide with it no more,” Tyson added.

Tyson has really elevated his apparent “passion” for weed. He now has Cultivation School which teaches farmers how to grow and develop their own strains. He also plans to expand it into a weed-themed resort, featuring a hotel, amphitheatre and the world’s longest ‘lazy river’.

However, the 53-year-old has admitted that originally, Tyson Ranch was not his idea. When asked who came up with the vision, Tyson revealed that it was his partner Rob Hickman.

“I would say it was my partner Rob Hickman, he discussed it with me,” Tyson revealed.

It appears that the idea turned out to be a success for Tyson and company. The ranch has won cannabis cups and other competitions which “Tyson is really proud of.”

Last month, Tyson has just teamed up with Dutch rolling company Futurola to launch Tyson Ranch’s new line of premium rolling equipment.

“Iron Mike” has uncovered the new product in a slick advert on social media in which fans were quick to label him the GOAT. The former heavyweight champ looked smooth in black leather jacket with graying beard as he took a good puff.

Along with another business partner Ebon Britton, Tyson also produces a podcast called “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.”
