Mike Tyson's publicist denied the fighter has undergone any medical treatment that would nullify the result of his upcoming fight against Jake Paul.
"Mr. Tyson is not and has not been using any medical treatment that would be banned under the Texas Commission," Jo Mignano told USA Today's Josh Peter.
Tyson has undergone several medical procedures to improve his health, many of which do not have FDA or WADA approval. He's been open about taking synthetic testosterone, using psychedelic drugs and taking injections of placenta and umbilical cord proteins to alleviate pain and improve his mental health.
The 57-year-old has credited those unorthodox methods for improving his overall health. However, it's unknown whether any of those treatments would result in Tyson being flagged under anti-drug rules.
Tyson will have to undergo drug testing on Nov. 15, the day he fights Jake Paul. If either fighter is flagged for use of banned substances, the winner will be stripped of the victory and the bout would be labeled a no-contest.
If the winner of the fight tests clean and the loser fails the drug test, the victor would still receive his win. Tyson and Paul are set for a professional boxing bout that was originally slated as an exhibition.
The fight was pushed back to November after Tyson had a flare-up of a stomach ulcer.
