Mike Tyson, without a doubt, is one of the most debatable combat sports personalities of all time. With his activities inside and outside the sport, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ has struck the right chord in connecting with fans and other combat sports bigwigs. That said, many notable stars regard Tyson for what he is, and they look to draw tremendous inspiration from him.

However, 55-year-old Tyson terrifies Joe Rogan for some reason. But what is it exactly?

Recently, the UFC commentator shed some light on Tyson and revealed what’s terrifying about the former heavyweight king.

“I don’t give a f** if he’s 55. Like 55 in 2021, is not 55 from like 1988. It’s not the same thing. You watch him hit pads? Have you seen him hit pads with Rafael Cordeiro? It’s terrifying. Not terrifying because he’s 55. F**king terrifying, it’s a terrifying human. If he was 21 and he was hitting pads like that, I’ll be like holy s**t. This kid’s a killer.” he said.

Tyson took up an exhibition fight last year wherein he faced fellow veteran Roy Jones Jr. Though this wasn’t a professional fight, Tyson and even Jones Jr. made sure to put in full efforts to make this contest worth the watch.

Both the fighters received immense applause from fans and fighters around the world, but it was Tyson who allured countless fans with his activity in the ring that night.

Jones Jr. vs Tyson’s fight got some sound numbers on the PPV, and fans seemed desperate to see Tyson in another exhibition outing.

When is Mike Tyson fighting again?

Tyson is slated to return to the ring by February 2022. For now, there’s no clear news about who he will face. However, things will get clear in the coming few days.
