Tyson Challenger Uses Hypnosis In Training Program

By Jason L. Miller

Thirty-nine-year-old Tyson, at 5'11 and 233 pounds, didn't appear at all intimidated by the 6'6, 271 pound Irishman.


According to Mike, he's fighting "a tomato can" on Saturday night at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.


Somebody should tell Mike that tomatoes are Italian, potatoes are Irish.


In addition to an age and size advantage, 31-year-old McBride claims to have an ace up his sleeve. He includes a hypnotist in his training camp.


"A lot of athletes use only 2% to 8% of their ability at any given time," said McBride, with a 32-4-1 record with 27 KOs. "What hypnosis does is send out signals to the subconscious mind that makes you leave nothing behind. I'm going to take it to Mike Tyson with a 100% effort. He's going to have to knock me out to win."
