Mike Tyson has denied rumors that he's been secretly battling Parkinson's disease. The 58-year-old boxing legend's health came into the public eye after he experienced a medical emergency due to an ulcer leading up to his recent fight with YouTuber Jake Paul, which caused the bout to be postponed to November. Over the weekend, Jake Paul stirred controversy by suggesting that Tyson used psychedelic drugs to "cure Parkinson's."

However, Tyson's team quickly responded, stating that the boxer is in good health, telling TMZ: "Mike is happy and perfectly healthy. He doesn't have Parkinson's or any other illness." Jake made the statement during an online interview with Adin Ross on February 16, where the two were discussing psychedelic substances. Jake said, "Ayahuasca is really good for your brain as well. And same with toad! Toad cured Tyson’s Parkinson's so that he could come back and fight."

Afterward, Jake apologized for the confusion, claiming he "misspoke" and clarified his words. On X, he posted: "Bruh…Mike Tyson didn’t have no Parkinson’s... Why the f*** is the internet so stupid for. I misspoke. Meant he used toad to heal his pain. He has spoken about it many times. Just like I do. Just like many do."

Tyson had a highly publicized return to the ring against Jake in November, which ended in defeat. Despite the loss, Tyson expressed no regrets about stepping back into the ring with the much younger fighter. After the fight, Tyson posted on X: "This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time."

He also opened up about his near-death experience earlier that year, sharing: "I almost died in June. I had eight blood transfusions, lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won. To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish eight rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you."
