Mike Tyson reveals living a 'disciplined life' without drugs and physical intimacy before Jake Paul fight

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mike Tyson is getting jacked, working on his fitness, and giving up sex and marijuana before the highly anticipated July 20 bout against YouTuber turned pro-boxer Jake Paul.

During an appearance on 'The Damon Elliott Show', the 57-year-old revealed that he opted to stay away from smoking and physical intimacy for more than a couple of weeks, although it was not clear when the interview was recorded, Fox News reports.

'The Baddest Man on the Planet' previously gave Forbes Life a different timeline on his abstinence from drugs and sex.

Mike Tyson says he is living a disciplined life 

"Right now, I’m living my life disciplined. It’s been six weeks that I haven’t gotten high or had sex," he told the outlet in a story published Saturday, April 27.

"I haven’t done that since I was a little kid. I hate not being able to smoke. But I’m doing it like I love it; I hate not being able to sleep with my wife, but I'm doing it like I love it," he added.

The legendary boxer's publicist told USA Today that he was quitting marijuana to abide by the fight rules as marijuana is on the list of banned substances by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the agency overseeing the fight.

Roy Jones Jr cautions Jake Paul of Mike Tyson

Roy Jones Jr, who was the last person to square off Tyson, offered a warning to Paul about the condition the former heavyweight champion is in.

"The first time he hit me in the chest, it felt like a mule had kicked me in the chest," Jones told Shane Mosley on his YouTube show.

"If he hits anybody with a shot like that, they are either going out or down, especially guys who are not used to being hit like that. With these types of people like Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, these guys are bigger and can take it," he added.

"But Jake Paul, I don’t think he’s going to be able to take that. It might hit him on the chin like that, we’ll see, but it’s going to be tough," warned Jones.

Mike Tyson's fight against Jake Paul has been announced as a 'sanctioned professional fight'
