Mike Tyson was the most feared heavyweight boxer of his time. The New York-born fighter was a class apart from the fighters at the time. Under his coach Cus D’Amato, Mike Tyson became the world’s youngest heavyweight champion at just 20 years of age. ‘Iron’ Mike had an impeccable career record for a long time. He remained undefeated for his first 37 fights and had a commendable knockout percentage. Mike’s professional record stands at 50 wins with 44 knockouts against six losses (BoxRec). 

Tyson was a 5 ft 8 muscle monster with a body weight of 220 lbs. His appearance was intimidating to the very bone, and apparently, he liked to battle in the ring without his socks on. A recent video of Mike Tyson training at 56 has left fans in awe of one of the greatest heavyweight boxers ever to grace the squared circle.

Mike Tyson still has it in him

In a video posted by ESNEWS on YouTube, Mike Tyson is seen working on a 350-pound bag. Tyson throws some jabs at the bag and practices in front of the camera. Furthermore, he passes on his wisdom about jabs and hooks to his host. The video shows that once a boxer, always a boxer.

Tyson did not throw the jab with the same intensity as he used to, but his stance was still on point. Mike may certainly not be the ferocious fighter he used to be, but with age, he has become a great teacher. He helped the host correct his jabs and suggested good combos to hurt the opponent.
