Mike Tyson is preparing for his fight against Jake Paul, which will take place on November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Texas. Initially scheduled for July, the fight had to be postponed due to Tyson's health issues. In one of his podcast appearances, Mike revealed that he has trouble distinguishing Tommy Fury from his famous brother, Tyson Fury.
Recently, the showbiz world was rocked by the news of the breakup of a popular reality TV pair, Tommy Fury and Molly Mae Hague. When Mike Tyson, the boxing legend, appeared on Logan Paul's podcast, he didn't hesitate to share his opinion on the topic unexpectedly.
This is especially true since Tyson will be facing Paul's brother, Jake, in the ring this November. As a result, his conversation gained additional significance.
Tyson, also known as Iron Mike, was confused and mistook "Molly" for the street slang for the drug "MDMA." His response, quoted by the newspaper "The Sun," shocked many: "Who the hell is Molly? I think of getting high. I am in the drug stage of my life."
His directness amused Paul, but that's not all. Tyson also showed that he has trouble distinguishing Tommy from his famous brother, Tyson Fury, and shared some reflections on the heavyweight champion's loneliness.
The correct facts were clarified only after a while. Paul emphasized that Tommy and Molly met on "Love Island," were together for five years, and have a child. Tyson, astonished, reacted with playful disbelief: "Seriously? Stop joking with me, man."
