“Listen, I can’t stop smoking,” he said during the post-fight press conference. “I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke, I’m sorry. I’m a smoker. … I smoke everyday. I never stopped smoking.”
…“It’s just who I am,’’ he said. “It has no effect on me from a negative standpoint. It’s just what I do and how I am and how I’m going to die. There’s no explanation. There’s no beginning, there’s no end.”
Did the marijuana help numb the pain Saturday night?
“No, it just numbs me,” he said. “It doesn’t numb the pain”
It was Tyson’s first fight in 15 years. The eight round exhibition match ended in a draw.
