Mike Tyson's love for mushrooms is well known. The former heavyweight champion has frequently stated that doing psychedelic mushrooms makes him feel relaxed and more measured with his approach towards life.

Tyson, who is also a strong advocate of marijuana, once consumed four grams of magic mushrooms live on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast.

When the 55-year-old was asked for the reason behind his interest in mushrooms, Tyson revealed that he's fascinated by the hallucinations he gets after eating them.

"It makes you pretty objective for what's really going on and mushrooms really tell you that you're nothing. Even the mushrooms in the daytime, you take in, and the earth starts moving. You look at the ground, it's moving. You look at the plants and the trees, they're moving. They're doing something. It's absolutely insane," said Mike Tyson.

'Iron Mike' also added that eating mushrooms helps him become a better version of himself. Tyson revealed he consumes them on a regular basis. A few days before his much-hyped boxing contest against Roy Jones Jr., the legendary boxer was training under the influence of mushrooms.

While on Logan Paul's podcast, Tyson was offered a handful of mushrooms. The boxing legend shocked the YouTuber and his co-hosts by casually eating them.
