Tyson has been preparing for his first professional fight in almost 20 YEARS with MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro.
The gym is based near the Raiders’ training HQ headquarters in Henderson, Nevada.
Tyson’s brother-in-law Azim Spicer told USA Today: “Mark Davis is a friend of Mike’s.
“Mark was super helpful in allowing us to utilize this space temporarily.
“His team has been awesome assisting us with the best vendors to build out Mike’s vision.”
Tyson’s wife Lakiha – who he married in 2009 – is said to have designed the gym herself.
It is a scaled down version of the boxing club the boxing icon owns in Saudi Arabia.
