At the Adin Ross podcast, Jake Paul may have had a verbal fumble, which made his fight with Tyson even more awkward than it was. Over the weekend, Paul struggled to get his words straight claiming that Tyson had Parkinson's disease but then suggesting it had been miraculously cured through some rather unusual means.

On the podcast, when discussing the use of psychedelic drugs, Paul asserted confidently, "Ayahuasca is great for your brain too, same as toad," before launching into his ex-opponent's background with the stuff.

It was impossible then to tell if he was referring to boxing or pitching a vacation package for the world's most extreme spa day. Paul said:

"Toad is what cured Mike Tyson’s Parkinson’s, no, sorry, toad cured Tyson’s Parkinson’s so he could come back and fight."

Last November, Jake Paul picked up another victory in his boxing career against the one and only Mike Tyson. He won by unanimous decision but failed to deliver the knockout he had teased in the lead-up.

Although the victory was a nice paper win, the fight generated more controversy than cheer, with many wondering if Tyson, at his age, should have even been in the ring. Others cited the health issues that had already pushed back the bout for months.

However, as soon as Paul realized that he made a blunder, he took his X account and commented:

"Bruh…Mike Tyson didn’t have no Parkinsons..WTF. Why the f**k 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."

The moment the news came out someone (@Chrispyyyyyy) took to his X account and commented:

"Mhmmmm sure he did lmao. He just wasn’t supposed to let the world know he had Parkinson’s"

Tyson, 58, was swift to quash Jake Paul's assertions, claiming he doesn't have Parkinson's or any disease, with his people clarifying that Mike is "happy and perfectly healthy."

Now let us walk you through how the netizens have reacted regarding this news!
