During an interview Mike Tyson was asked how he was able to get back down to his former fighting weight, to which the heavyweight champ replied:

“I became a vegan, then I lost 140 pounds…I always thought if you did cocaine, you’d stay skinny. I didn’t know you’d turn into a fat crackhead, and you know it’s nothin’ like a fat crack-head.”

Tyson was promoting his new television show about racing pigeons.
