CONOR Mcgregor has posted a photo he claims shows him smoking marijuana alongside Mike Tyson.

He captioned the post on Instagram: “Some giggle off that Cherry Pick Kush”.

The Notorious, 30, and the convicted rapist resolved their difference­s over the weekend after meeting at the boxer’s Helix show at Dublin City University.

Mcgregor admitted it was an “honour” to taste Tyson’s brand of marijuana on the social media post.

Taking to Instagram with a picture of the boxer exhaling smoke, Mcgregor said he had a lot of respect for the US ring icon, 52.

In a lengthy post, he said: “I went to see Mike Tyson last night in the Helix, Dublin, Ireland.

“I love and respect Mike Tyson. And I love the Helix. I won my first World Title here, and also my second. It was good to meet you Mike.

“You spoke some things about me in the past which I did not like and I was happy to speak to you face-to-face, put it to bed and have some fun. You are in good spirits and I was happy to see this.

“I will always have the height of respect for you. Some decisions you have made around your finances I do not agree with. As a fighter you must fight here. The most. And this is a fight that never ends. It is even a fight we pass on to our next in line. Our blood line.

“Make sure you stay switched on with those around you at all times. You have good people around you now, I can tell. But stay switched on.

“Your Marijuana strain that you grow on your ranch ‘KO Kush’ is really nice.

“It was an honour to taste it and I wish you and your team all the best with this endeavor.

“Just remember, if someone tries to rip you. Rip their nose off their face. You are a fighting icon and deserve endless love and respect. And from me, you will always have it. Don’t let anyone take anything from you. You owe nobody nothing. It is you who is owed. Always remember that. I love you Mike. Iron Mike Tyson!”

Some Irish Mirror readers were last night unimpresse­d by the photo.

One man commented, “Two eejits of the highest order” while a woman posted, “Deserve each other”.

Tyson was found guilty of raping 18-year-old Miss Black America contestant Desiree Washington in 1992.

Gardai said yesterday they had received no complaints over Mcgregor’s alleged hash use.

DCU was contacted for comment.
