Mike Tyson is set to make a major lifestyle change ahead of his big fight against Jake Paul.
Tyson is set to return to action on July 20 when he faces Paul in an exhibition that will be aired on Netflix.
It will be the boxing legend's first appearance since his clash with Roy Jones Jr back in November 2020.

Fans and critics alike have slammed the contest between Tyson and Paul as current heavyweight star Anthony Joshua made his feelings clear.
The 57-year-old looks to be in supreme shape as he released a first-person POV training workout online.
And he's amped up preparations ahead of his ring return as he is set to give up smoking cannabis in the build-up to his summer showdown.

Tyson, who's an avid weed smoker, owns a cannabis farm but he will be giving the hash ahead of fighting Paul.
Asked about his habit, he said: "I don't know, maybe it has something to do with my tripolar tendencies or something.
"But I don’t think I am going to smoke for this fight. I think I am going to be very irritable and nasty."
Quizzed whether he would take his own cannabis-infused sweets before a fight, he replied: "Normally I do, but for this particular fight I think I'm going to go pretty raw and naked.

"I’m 58 and what? I’m getting billions of views from just talking to somebody about fighting."
Tyson also hit out at 'jealous' people slamming his fight against Paul.
"Everybody, even most of the athletes, they’re jealous, that’s whack," he exclaimed. "I say in your prime you couldn’t draw a million people, man. What are you talking, you couldn’t sell out arena.
"Who at 58 could sell out an 80,000-seat arena? Why you think he [Paul] wants to fight me and not anybody else?"
