Jimmy Kimmel recently jokingly cast doubt on Mike Tyson's chances against Jake Paul after the former heavyweight champion boxer disclosed his marijuana use ahead of the bout. 'Iron' has been open about his cannabis use but it's unclear whether or not it improves his overall training and performance.
The boxing bout has been criticized due to Tyson's age and the amount of time passed since his final professional bout. Despite his impressive performance against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020, it's important to note that the bout was an exhibition and had specific rules and regulations to ensure their safety.
During 'Iron's' appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', the comedian noted that his marijuana use could be a cause for concern, considering that it could result in him not being clear-minded when he fights 'The Problem' Child'. Kimmel mentioned that he had second thoughts about wagering on Tyson after he disclosed that he could consume a large quantity before his fight against Paul:
