The remarks were made during Paul's recent appearance on a livestream with internet personality Adin Ross, where the pair discussed the use of psychedelic drugs for healing purposes.

The comments quickly gained traction online, forcing Tyson's representatives to address the unfounded claims about his health.

During the livestream discussion about psychedelic substances, Paul made the startling claim about Tyson's supposed condition.

"Toad cured Tyson's Parkinson's so that he could come back and fight," Paul said whilst speaking with Ross about the healing properties of psychedelic drugs.

The conversation had turned to the effects of various substances, including toad venom, when Paul made the unexpected statement about the boxing legend's health.

Following widespread reaction to his comments, Paul quickly took to social media platform X to retract his statement.

"Bruh… Mike Tyson didn't have no Parkinson's... WTF. Why the f*** is the internet so stupid for. I misspoke," Paul wrote.

He clarified his earlier comments about the toad venom, adding: "Meant he used toad to heal his pain.

"He has spoken about it many times. Just like I do. Just like many do."
