Wiz Khalifa almost knocked Mike Tyson out while trying to show him how to do "kush-ups." For those unaware of the endurance test, a kush-up consists of taking ten quicks puffs from a joint (blunt, pen, or whatever smokable you prefer) without blowing the smoke out. Moreover, Wiz tried to show Tyson the technique on the latter's Hotboxin' podcast. When the boxer tried to do one, he only got to two puffs before coughing. "Do ten puffs but don't exhale," the Taylor Gang leader explained. "1,2, 3, and you don't blow the smoke out.

"That was two, that was two," he acknowledged after Mike started coughing uncontrollably. "So we'll work on the kush-ups," Wiz Khalifa remarked with the patience of a coach. "Yes, thank you," the 56-year-old replied while trying to catch his breath. "Oh god, help me," he exclaimed. At least the two seemed to have fun together and enjoyed the devil's lettuce with much more ease and enjoyability than a kush-up. Throughout their conversation, Tyson was able to finish his L with no further hiccups. In the comments section of Wiz's post with a clip of the interaction, he lightly teased his colleague.

"SMOKIN WIT CHAMP," Wiz Khalifa captioned in all caps. Also, he added "Somebody come help my boy for real" in a comment. During their interview, they spoke about a lot of cannabis-related topics, including whether legalization would occur in all U.S. states and territories. Currently, marijuana is recreationally legal in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia. Conversely, 37 states allow for medical use of the drug. Of course, this isn't the first time that Wiz and Tyson linked up to smoke together.

However, there's only one person who's seemingly able to out-smoke the Kush & Orange Juice MC, and that's unsurprisingly Snoop Dogg. The two had a bit of a competition on stage, and though people argued that the order of their trade-offs was against WIz's favor, he ultimately tapped out first. Given that all names involved are heavy advocates for marijuana, it's still quite the achievement. Regardless, check out the full Hotboxin' episode below come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Mike Tyson and Wiz Khalifa.
