Mike Perry reveals he wasn’t drug-tested before Jake Paul fight; speculates on if Mike Tyson will be allowed to take PEDs due to age 

Mike Tyson's return to professional boxing will come against none other than Jake Paul, a pair of names that would not have been heard in the same sentence ten years ago. The duo will do battle on Nov. 15 at the AT&T Stadium in Texas in a highly anticipated affair.

But with a 31-year age gap between them, questions have been raised about whether or not 'Iron Mike' would be allowed to take any performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) given him being 58 years old.

Sean O'Malley's longtime coach, Tim Welch, discussed the idea of Tyson being on PEDs during a recent interview with Mike Perry. 'Platinum' was Paul's last boxing opponent, with the pair clashing on Jul. 20. Welch said:

"I mean at 58 years old now, I'm so curious, and the lifestyle that [Tyson] lived, I wonder what his testosterone levels are."

Perry made an interesting revelation that he had not been tested ahead of his fight with 'The Problem Child', as he said:

"When I fought Jake, I was undefeated, 6-0 as far as the last three years. Then I fought Jake, it was the first time I hadn't been drug-tested. They tested me for all my fights, except for the Jake Paul fight. No excuses, I spar and train with people that are on the juice. They didn't test me at a fight of that magnitude against a fighter as important as Jake Paul is to the system they've got... I was surprised to not get tested."

Mike Tyson has not competed professionally in the boxing ring since 2005. He has competed in two exhibition bouts since his retirement, most recently in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr., another boxing legend.

Ahead of his return to the professional circuit, 'Iron Mike' shared an unsettling revelation about his sinister alter-ego making a resurgence during his preparations.

In a recent post on X, the former heavyweight champion shared an insight into his mindset ahead of his clash with 'The Problem Child'. He wrote:

"Homicidal"
