Mike Tyson has dismissed Jake Paul’s claim that he has Parkinson’s, saying the YouTuber-turned-boxer doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
The remark came after Paul, during a conversation about psychedelic drugs with streamer Adin Ross, mentioned using magic mushrooms to “fix my brain.”
Paul claimed that Tyson used psychedelic toad venom before their scheduled fight in November, suggesting it “cured” Tyson’s Parkinson’s.
