Boxing icon Tyson smokes a joint and eats popcorn during night out in Los Angeles"},"content":{"rendered":"

As talks over his potential boxing return continue to circulate, Mike Tyson<\/a> appeared as calm as ever as he enjoyed a night out in Los Angeles<\/a> on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tyson, 59, was spotted in the streets of LA alongside his entourage as he stepped out for a night on the strip in jeans<\/a>, a colorful button-up shirt and white sneakers.<\/p>\n

However, the most notable aspect of his appearance was the joint which he smoked and the bag of popcorn which he carried with him as he went.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boxing icon appeared fully focused on his accessories, as he swapped between the joint and the popcorn while he walked down the street.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tyson had been a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> show earlier that night and was pictured arriving at the studios in a casual, all-black outfit – before changing later on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The boxing icon remained in the same outfit that he wore on the late-night talk show as he strutted about the streets of LA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Boxing legend Mike Tyson was spotted on a night out in Los Angeles on Monday evening<\/p>\n

Fresh out of his cameo on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Tyson strutted out with his entourage<\/p>\n

His public sighting comes nearly a year to the day after his exhibition bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul<\/a>, which Tyson lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an eight-round bout, ‘Iron Mike’\u00a0was hardly able to lay a finger on the YouTuber as he lost by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

It’s been a cause for concern among Tyson fans in recent weeks following the announcement that he and Floyd Mayweather are in talks for a fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As reported by TMZ<\/a>, contracts have been signed for Tyson and Mayweather to stage an exhibition next year – and fans already expressed their fears for Tyson’s health.<\/p>\n

Mayweather is 48 himself – and will be 49 by the time he steps back in the ring – though he is still in incredible shape and of course holds a 50-0 professional record in his glittering career.<\/p>\n

Even Tyson himself expressed shock at the fight going ahead – but said it was Floyd, not him, who was in danger.<\/p>\n

‘This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen,’ Tyson told TMZ in a statement.<\/p>\n

‘However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable – and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets.<\/p>\n

Tyson has reportedly been tipped to fight fellow legend Floyd Mayweather in early 2026\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I still can’t believe Floyd wants to really do this. It’s going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it’s signed and it’s happening!’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tyson is now advocating\u00a0for the national legalization of marijuana and has made an impassioned plea to Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Marijuana consumption is completely legal for both recreational and medicinal use in 25 of the 50 American states – while only Idaho<\/a>, Kansas<\/a>, Nebraska<\/a>, North Carolina<\/a>, South Carolina, and Wyoming<\/a> still have it completely illegal across the board.<\/p>\n

Tyson recently appeared on ‘Fox & Friends’ to make his case for legalizing the drug.<\/p>\n

He appeared on behalf of the ‘Coalition of Athletes and Entertainers Supporting President Trump’s Policy Objectives’ – a group including basketball stars Kevin Durant and Allen Iverson, boxer Roy Jones Jr, and former NFL stars Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, and Ricky Williams.<\/p>\n

‘This is something they wanted to do for so many years, but didn’t know how to go about doing it,’ Tyson said on the show. ‘And I was just blessed enough to have the perfect team for this genre of sports… medicine.’<\/p>\n

Tyson also added that the group is receiving help from The Weldon Project – a group which, according to their website, is ‘dedicated to funding social change and financial aid for those who are still serving prison time for cannabis-related offenses.’<\/p>\n

‘I’m just so happy to be a part of this and be a part with other athletes, not knowing that they were really with this whole situation in making cannabis legal. I never knew other athletes wanted that as well,’ Tyson added.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As talks over his potential boxing return continue to circulate, Mike Tyson appeared as calm as ever as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,97,10203,99,7879,217,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-258286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-dailymail","tag-jimmy-kimmel","tag-los-angeles","tag-mike-tyson","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
