Mike Tyson
I Don’t Have Parkinson’s Disease
… Despite Jake’s Claims Otherwise
Published
Mike Tyson says Jake Paul has no idea what he’s talking about … ’cause he doesn’t have Parkinson’s despite what the YouTube sensation says.
Here’s the deal … Jake stopped by streamer Adin Ross‘ place to hang out, and the two got into a conversation about psychedelic drugs — with Jake saying he takes magic mushrooms to “fix my brain.”
Paul then talks about the benefits of taking ayahuasca and smoking “toad” — psychedelic toad venom that some have begun experimenting with more in recent years.
It’s here where JP let’s the news slip … excitedly claiming to Adin that Mike Tyson smoked toad before their fight in November — claiming it “cured Tyson’s Parkinson’s so he could come back and fight.”
Welp, Mike’s team is nipping that in the bud … telling us “Mike is happy and perfectly healthy. He doesn’t have Parkinson’s or any other illness.”
Jake has also walked back the comments … writing on X that Mike never had Parkinson’s and the internet took his comments out of context — even though he specifically said the drugs cured him of that disease.

As we told you Mike had several medical incidents in the lead-up to the bout … had a medical incident on a plane in May that pushed the fight back to November. Tyson later said lost a lot of blood on the plane and nearly died.
The fight with Jake didn’t go the way Mike wanted … with Tyson losing soundly to the YouTuber-turned-boxer. But, he said just getting back into the ring at 58 was an achievement in and of itself.
According to Jake, he’s facing a bigger challenger than any boxer.
