Fans have reacted with concern after boxing legend Mike Tyson gave an awkward interview on UK breakfast television on Tuesday ahead of his comeback fight with Roy Jones Jr.


Speaking via a remote link live from Los Angeles to Piers Morgan and co-host Susanna Reid on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', the 54-year-old Tyson at times appeared confused, slurring his words during the often brief answers he gave and also appeared close to nodding off. 


Fans shared footage of the interview on Twitter and questioned Tyson’s condition.


One suggested he was “absolutely hammered,” while another asked: “What is going on with Mike Tyson? Tired, Punch Drunk or too much Charlie?”








In a similar vein, another viewer wrote: “Mike Tyson is out of his face on Good Morning Britain this morning. What the f**k is he on?”


GMB presenter Alex Beresford, who was not present on the show during the interview, also expressed his concern. 


“Hoping Mike Tyson is just tired,” he tweeted.
