Heavyweight boxing great Mike Tyson swears by the benefits of using CBD. According to ‘Iron’ Mike, CBD has massively helped him get off opioids, assisted with his mental health, and managed the chronic in his body. Additionally, many athletes proclaim the benefits that go beyond pain management.

Mike Tyson And the Benefits of CBD

Mike Tyson has become a significant advocate for the use of CBD and cannabis. He discusses their benefits based on his personal experiences. Tyson has spoken openly about how these products have positively impacted his life, particularly in managing pain resulting from his legendary boxing career.

The heavyweight great credits CBD with helping him reduce his reliance on opioids, which he previously used for pain management. Also, he has noted improvements in his mental health and overall well-being, attributing a new sense of peace to his switch from alcohol to marijuana.

The boxer explains:

“I’ve been fighting for over 20 years, and my body has a lot of wear and tear. I had two surgeries and I used marijuana to calm my nerves, and it would take the pain away … But before, they had me on those opiates, and those opiates had me all screwed up … I thought about how much good I could do by helping people with cannabis. It was a no brainer“

Tyson is also a vocal advocate for the use of CBD and cannabis, particularly in the context of sports. He promotes these products for their potential to assist athletes with pain management and recovery, and he supports the idea of cannabis use in sports to enhance performance. Tyson believes that CBD can help individuals move away from opioid addiction and even supports research into how cannabis can aid veterans returning from deployment.

According to Mike Tyson, CBD, and cannabis offer numerous benefits, including pain relief and management, improved sleep quality, stress and anxiety reduction, enhanced mental clarity and focus, and potential assistance in treating conditions such as arthritis.

Benefits of CBD in Athletes

Mike Tyson uses CBD for issues such as anxiety and pain management, but many athletes use the same product for different benefits. Research suggests that CBD may offer anti-inflammatory effects, helping to manage inflammation and oxidative stress resulting from intense exercise, which could contribute to faster recovery and reduced muscle soreness.

Additionally, CBD’s analgesic properties may help alleviate pain and soreness associated with rigorous training and competition. Athletes might also benefit from CBD’s potential to improve sleep quality and regulate sleep patterns.

Nearly fifteen years after their first meeting, Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski are likely to meet again in a boxing match rumored for late 2024.

Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski 2

The heavyweight great Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC champion Andrei Arlovski first met in 2009 at an Affliction event, sponsored by M-1 and Donald Trump. The two traded hands, with the quick Arlovski getting the better of the Russian. But, the UFC champion jumped for a flying knee attack and Emelianenko countered with a flush overhand which knocked Arlovski late in round 1.

Now, the two aged fighters are looking to meet once again but this time under boxing rules. It seems a match may be booked in RCC Fights.

“The Last Emperor” Emelianenko is the greatest heavyweight fighter in MMA history having beaten a cavalcade of impressive names including UFC champions Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Frank Mir, Tim Sylvia, Arlovski, Mark Coleman, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, and kickboxing greats Mirko Cro Cop and Semmy Schilt.

The Russian athlete has a background in Combat Sambo and was a staple of both PRIDE FC, Strikeforce, and Bellator MMA. His last win was a first-round knockout against the US-born Timothy Johnson in 2021.

Former UFC heavyweight champion “The Pitbull” Andrei Arlovski, of Belarus, was a standout athlete in the early 2000s due to his incredibly quick hands. He had an MMA stretching from 1999 to 2024. He finished his UFC career on a four-fight losing streak.

Now, it seems, Emelianenko and Arlovski are looking to lace up the gloves once again but this time under Queensbury rules.

Live from the Ariake Arena in Tokyo, Japan, Naoya Inoue faced off against Ireland’s TJ Doheny. ‘The Monster’ Inoue looked to defend his boxing crown and pound-for-pound slot.

Naoya Inoue vs. TJ Doheny Results

The Japanese-born Naoya Inoue entered the match on a spotless 27-0 win streak. With power in his hands, he has won nearly ninety percent of his matches by way of knockout. Holding the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring titles in two weight classes, TJ Doheny was looking to reclaim some of his former gold.

In round 1, Inoue was able to trap Doheny against the ropes and land a powerful lead hook to cross combination. The jab from ‘The Monster’ also found a home in the opener.

The Irish-born underdog Doheny was much more active with jabs in round 2. A right cross landed with a significant impact from Inoue and added a digging hook to the body near the end of the round. The Japanese knockout striker was looking to mix high and low punches, varying body and head punches.

Inoue was much more active with his high jab as round 3 opened. Doheny found success with combination punches ending with attacks to the body.

Doheny landed a powerful left straight in round 4 which tips back the head of his opponent. The 37-year-old athlete talked to his Japanese-born opponent throughout the round but was backed into the corner and ate some body punches.

Doheny looked to smother his opponent in round 5 as he was able to jab Inoue into the corner. His body punches found a target but Inoue begins to throw with more power. Inoue was able to land jab and body attacks while his Irish opponent kept busy with combinations.

Round 6 saw a burst of activity from Doheny early on but got backed to the ropes by the Japanese-born champion. Doheny ate a cross but returned fire with a hook. Inoue’s piston-like right cross was landing with impressive impact, and an overhand was added. With a flurry of punches, Inoue was looking to end the fight at the end of 6 but the bell saved the Irish athlete.

Inoue landed a series of hooks and Doheny began limping off holding his lower back. It appeared to be a leg or back injury and the referee waved off the bout in round 7 due to injury. Another TKO win was won by the champion Naoya Inoue.

Tyson Fury Defends Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul Clash: ‘S**t ton of money’

While most have been critical of Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing bout with Mike Tyson, former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson…

While most have been critical of Jake Paul’s upcoming boxing bout with Mike Tyson, former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury thinks it’ll be fantastic for the sport.

On Friday, November 15, Paul will make his 12th walk to the squared circle for a scrap with the 58-year-old icon inside the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

From the moment the fight was announced, pundits and fans have been heavily critical of the pairing, much of it due to the massive 31-year age gap between ‘Iron’ and ‘The Problem Child.’ However, Fury sees things differently. Speaking with The Stomping Ground, ‘The Gypsy King’ thinks boxing will benefit from having two generational superstars with millions of followers going toe-to-toe.

Not to mention, the massive amount of money both will likely walk away with once it’s all said and done.

“I think it’s fantastic for boxing,” Fury said. You’ve got a legend in Mike Tyson, you’ve got a YouTube boxer who’s come into the game and blew it up with millions of followers and millions of views. Good, bad or indifferent, some people love him, some people hate him.

“I think it’s a really good spectacle for boxing, it brings a lot of people to the game. Who am I to say Mike Tyson shouldn’t be boxing or Jake Paul shouldn’t be boxing? Good luck to them, they’re both gonna make what I call a sh*t ton of money out of it” (h/t SecondsOut.com).

‘The Gypsy King’ isn’t ready to count out mike tyson just yet

As for how he sees things playing out, Fury thinks it’s crazy to count out the power and experience of the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ even if Mike Tyson hasn’t competed in a professional boxing match in nearly two decades.

“Okay the guy’s 57-years-old, but he’s former undisputed world heavyweight king and one guy who plays computers for a living who’s come into boxing about a year ago – so pretty even match … You’ve got to admire them both and I wish them both the best of luck. I seen Mike’s training hard on his videos, and Jake Paul’s always in shape. People say it’s sh*t but I bet they still watch it.”

Currently, Tyson is sitting as a +180 underdog while Paul is a greater than 2-to-1 favorite at -240.

Anthony Taylor Destroys Anderson Silva’s Son with Brutal TKO, Challenges Darren Till and Floyd Mayweather

Anderson Silva’s son Gabriel got a brutal beatdown by Anthony Taylor at Misfits Boxing 17 in a shocking turn of events. After securing the big win, Taylor wasted no time before making some big callouts.

The fight between Gabriel Silva and Anthony Taylor came to fruition because YouTube personality turned boxer KSI withdrew from a two-vs.-one boxing match that was set to feature Taylor. So, the son of MMA legend Anderson Silva was added to the mix, and suddenly, the Misfits Boxing 17 card was saved.

The fight between Taylor and Silva was an interesting one. On the one hand, you had Taylor, who floundered about the MMA scene, from fighting for brands like Bellator to becoming a largely exhibitionist boxer under organizations like Misfits Boxing. On the other hand, there is Gabriel Silva. Largely untested but still the son of one of the greatest champions and mixed martial artists ever to grace this planet.

Sadly, the challenge proved too great for Anderson Silva’s boy, and Taylor walked away as the victor after only three rounds. It was an impressive showing from the MMA journeyman, and it will likely help pave the way for fights in the future against bigger and better names.

The damage was largely done in the third round, as Taylor dropped Silva three times to end the battle. On the second to last knockdown, a picturesque right hand found a home and sent Gabriel Silva into a different realm momentarily.

Although Silva managed to answer the count, it wasn’t meant to be. He would go on to get dropped again, and the fight was officially over. Taylor was undoubtedly thrilled to have scored such a big victory for his resume, and he made the most of his mic time to make some potentially unreasonable but nonetheless exciting callouts.

Darren Till, I know you watching!” Exclaimed Anthony Taylor after the bout. “Hey, If you see this message, bring it! Floyd Mayweather, I’ll knock you little skinny a** out too. Bring it, ’cause best believe I ain’t going nowhere!”

What do you think the odds are that Anthony Taylor could actually land himself a fight with Darren Till, or Floyd Mayweather?

Tai Emery Told Conor McGregor and BKFC that She Wouldn’t Flash The Crowd … Again

Tai Emery is getting a lot of attention these days.

The Aussie burst onto the scene under the BKFC banner in September 2022 following an impressive first-round TKO against Rung-Arun Khunchai in Thailand. But as impressive as her performance was, it was her post-fight celebration that had everyone talking.

Immediately following the win, Emery hopped up onto the ropes and flashed the crowd, giving fans in Bangkok a little something extra. The incident was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media.

A recently formed partnership between the BKFC and RIZIN sent Emery to Japan in July for a bare-knuckle scrap with Charisa Sigala at Super RIZIN 3. Emery once again scored a quick finish, leaving Sigala with a badly broken nose following a first-round TKO.

Before Emery was allowed to step inside the ring at Saitama Super Arena, she had to make some promises that her jaw-dropping celebration in ‘The Land of Smiles’ wouldn’t be repeated.

“100 percent,” Emery told MMA Mania, promising not to flash the Saitama crowd. “In every single email, every single phone call from David Feldman. I literally had to learn how to say, ‘No, I promised David Feldman and Conor McGregor that I wouldn’t flash and I wouldn’t be naughty.’ I learned how to say that in Japanese just for the sheer fact that I knew they’d ask me that.

“I had to pull that [phrase] out in some of the interviews and they were impressed.”

Tai Emery sets sights on BKFC gold and potential boxing debut

After making her big debut in Japan, Emery has a host of options, but her goal of one day claiming BKFC gold remains a top priority. With that said, Emery is more than willing to strap on a pair of boxing gloves should the opportunity present itself.

“I want the belt. I want what’s mine. That will be the moment I can finally go (exhales), okay, on top of the mountain, let’s smell one flower, and let’s get back to work,” Emery said. “Outside of that, I really want to put on the gloves and box whether that’s with RIZIN or Misfits or both. I think it’s exciting times for fighters right now.”
