Mike Tyson is regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. The former heavyweight world champion took retirement from boxing in 2005, and now he hosts his own podcast. A recent episode of the podcast featured UFC fighter Paddy Pimblett, where they discussed a variety of intriguing topics.    

As the episode progressed, they were discussing how fighters could donate a pint of blood to make weight. Steve-O mentioned that a pint is 16 ounces, that’s a whole pound right there, which could help lose weight. Tyson funnily said, “I’m gonna sell that blood. I think the blood things trying to get it free though.”

The conversation funnily led to them discussing how selling the blood would earn some extra money. Following that, Pimblett concluded, “I don’t definitely wanna do that anyway, you know to be honest.”

Well, the conversation ended with the conclusion that it’s a bad idea to donate blood to lose weight. It could deplete you and it is certainly not healthy for a person. 

When Mike Tyson lost 100 pounds for a fight 

‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ made a boxing comeback in 2021 to fight former world champion Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition fight. The latter retired from the sport in 2018, while Tyson had long lost his practice of getting inside the ring. Furthermore, Tyson also had to lose a considerable amount of weight for the fight. 

Tyson stated, “I would just stop all the sugary drinks, sugar, juices, and all that stuff, stick with the water, the tea, mostly warm water, ‘cause warm water burns fat, cold water adds to fat. And so I would just tell ‘em, eat everything that’s fat, like seafood, well, most seafood is fat burning.”

Moreover, Tyson shared that the best way to do something is through examining it first. He further explained watching videos on YouTube would help in the investigation. ‘The Kid Dynamite’ even shared some tips on how to stay healthy and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
