**Las Vegas, Nevada:** Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has revealed a bizarre and unexpected reason for his return to the boxing ring: a divine encounter while under the influence of hallucinogenic toad venom.

In an interview with Interview magazine, Tyson claimed that God instructed him to come out of retirement, a decision he made after smoking the venom of a Sonoran Desert toad with the guidance of a shaman.

“You rub it down until it becomes fine sand, and then you smoke it,” Tyson explained. “Then you meet God. And this is what God told me to do.”

The 58-year-old boxer, who hasn’t fought professionally since 2005, is scheduled to face YouTuber Jake Paul on Friday in a highly anticipated match broadcast live on Netflix. This matchup has been promoted with a behind-the-scenes documentary series, capitalizing on Paul’s massive YouTube following of over 20 million subscribers.

While Tyson has not seen God physically, he claims to have felt his presence, describing it as a “spiritual death” that made him realize “I’m nothing, but I’m everything.”

This revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming fight, showcasing Tyson’s unique ability to generate his own publicity even after decades in the public eye.
