Further, Tyson’s decision to switch to a raw meat diet before the fight has raised eyebrows and added to the uncertainty surrounding the event. “Raw meat. I have to eat it now because my opponent is going to be raw meat,” explained Tyson on the Damon Elliott Show.
In addition to altering his diet, Tyson disclosed last month that he had abstained from both sex and smoking marijuana in preparation for his return to the ring. “I’m living my life disciplined now, so I’m fight disciplined now,” he told Forbes.
“In probably six weeks, I haven’t gotten high or had sex. It’s just discipline. It’s doing what you hate to do but doing it like I love it. I hate not being able to not to smoke but I’m doing it like I love it. I hate not being able to sleep with my life, but I’m doing it like I love it, because I want it, I won’t do it.”
