Mike Tyson spoke on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast and touched upon several aspects of his personal and professional life. “Iron Mike” is set to make his return to Heavyweight boxing at 54 against Roy Jones Jr. The fight will span a duration of eight rounds, and the commission will overlook certain measures to ensure the safety of the aging fighters.

Tyson will return to action after a 15-year hiatus. He last competed in a losing effort back in 2005.

He has used his platform to discuss the benefits of marijuana consumption and has opened up a discussion about the same.

Furthermore, he has explored the podcast world himself by creating the massively popular ‘Hot Boxin’ podcast around the aforementioned theme.
