The boxing legend may be retired from the ring but that hasn’t stopped him from keeping in shape with a recent video of him intense workout leaving fans gobsmacked.
Mike Tyson continues to keep in ridiculous shape despite his retirement from boxing as footage from one of his workouts has shocked his fans.
The 57-year-old had a storied career in combat sports and has remained an icon in boxing since calling time on his career back in 2005. Tyson, who was nicknamed ‘The Baddest on the Planet’ during the height of his dominance, rose to fame in 1986 after becoming the youngest heavyweight champion in history at the age of just 20 years old – a record that still stands to this day.
He reigned as the undisputed champion of the division from 1987 to 1990 before he was knocked out by Buster Douglas in one of sport’s biggest-ever upsets. Over three decades on since that famous night in Tokyo, the New York native is the host of the popular podcast ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’ and a businessman.
One fan dubbed him the greatest of all time as they wrote: “My pick for GOAT. With both in their prime he beats Ali” while another commented: “Bruh at 57 I won’t be doing this lol”. While he no longer competes in the ring, Tyson is coaching ex-UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, who will take on WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury on October 24.
Tyson is wholly confident in his student despite the fact he’s never had a professional boxing fight. He said that when Ngannou connects with a punch, it’s “game over”. “It is no secret I back Ngannou 100 per cent in this face-off of champions.
“He has one hard punch, and when it lands, it’s game over,” the former boxer said in a recent interview. “I am looking forward to working with Ngannou and supporting his transition from the octagon to the boxing ring. He isn’t a combat novice, he is a world champion.
“The key will be combining his energy and combat skills into his punches and using his agility to move swiftly around the ring then delivering the knock-out blow. We’re here to win,” he added. While Fury is the overwhelming favourite, there is no denying the terrifying power the Cameroonian possesses with 12 of his 17 MMA victories coming by way of knockout.
