SHOCKED: Mike Tyson ADMITS used pre-fight hypnosis to reach peak consciousness since he was a teenager | HO

Mike Tyson was one of the most feared and dominant boxers of all time, capturing the heavyweight championship at just 20 years old. While his ferocious punching power and intimidating presence were key to his success, Tyson also employed an unconventional technique to reach an elevated state of mind before fights: hypnosis.

In a recent interview, Tyson revealed that from age 13 or 14 until the end of his career, he practiced hypnosis before every bout. “I’m an exponent of hypnosis,” he said. “It’s all about reaching your subconscious level, the connection with your subconscious, your ferociousness. Everything’s about being connected.”

Tyson credited hypnosis with allowing him to tap into a higher consciousness and harness his primal instincts in the ring. “By using that for your fighting too – everything’s love,” he explained. “Everything’s connected to love, even us going to war.”

The routine put Tyson in a zone of intense focus and removed any fear or self-doubt. He claimed opponents could sense his altered mental state.

While unorthodox, Tyson’s use of pre-fight hypnosis was part of his effort to prepare himself mentally and spiritually, not just physically. He saw boxing as more than a sport, but rather a spiritual journey and path to self-actualization. Hypnosis allowed him to silence his mind and achieve an elevated level of consciousness in the ring.
