And Tyson has been rolling back the clock in the gym and has banned himself from sex and smoking weed in training.

But that is not the only eyebrow-raising reveal Iron Mike has made.

Interviewer Damon Elliott said: “You look like 20-years-old. What the hell. What are you eating?”

A topless Tyson, 57, responded: “Raw meat.”

Elliott replied: “Seriously, Mike? You’re eating raw meat?”

Tyson chillingly warned: “I’m going to have to eat it now because my opponent’s going to be raw meat.”

Red meats like beef and some fish can be eaten raw but it is not recommended as it harbours illness-causing bacteria.

During Tyson’s prolific heyday, he ate up to 4,000 calories a day, enjoying steak, pasta, chicken, rice and fruits.

Although he revealed astonishing plans to hit 240lb (17st 1lb) in training before cutting down two stone to 220lb.

He said on podcast: “I’m just getting to eat as much as possible and it turns out my body carries this weigh super well.

“And I’m only growing. I think I’ll get up to 240 and probably cut down so I’m like way faster.

“But if I’m training for this camp – and camp hasn’t started – but if I’m training in this camp at 240 and then I cut down to 220 it’s basically like I had a 20lb weight vest on for the whole entire camp.

“So my muscles are going to be so much stronger and that speed will come through.”

Paul’s plan to weigh 240lb would be FOUR STONE heavier than the 13st 1lb he scaled before losing to Tommy Fury, 24, last year.
