“I Wouldn’t Fight Him When He’s 90!”: Fans Left Jaw-Dropped After Watching Mike Tyson’s Impressive Shadowboxing Skills in Forgotten Clip

Published 06/01/2023, 10:26 AM EDT

Mike Tyson is still dangerous at his age. ‘Iron Mike’ was the dominant force of the late 1980s. He was untouchable inside the boxing ring. His favorite move, a right uppercut, inspired fear in the hearts of his opponents. But, many fans would agree that age also plays a factor in the life of an athlete. Obviously, you cannot run as fast at 50 as you could at 25. But it seems like Tyson aims to change that notion. The former heavyweight champion is still fit for anyone his age. And, looking at his training videos reiterates the fact that one might leave boxing, but the knowledge does not leave the person.

Recently, a shadowboxing clip of Mike Tyson has resurfaced on the internet. And the fans are in disbelief of the speed and accuracy the 56-year still holds. We should note that 15 years have passed since Tyson bid adieu to the sport as a professional boxer. But it seems like he still holds many attributes from his time as a professional boxer.

In a recent clip posted by the MMA-Boxing Society on FaceBook, Mike Tyson shows exceptional speed while shadowboxing at what seems to be a restaurant. Well, when ‘Iron Mike’ wants to shadowbox, there is no right place and time.

This video is the epitome of the greatness of Tyson as a boxer. And it has caused a stir among the fans who can’t believe the speed of once the ‘Baddest man on the planet.’ The fans shared their reactions to the post.
