From flexing his punch power to giving a glimpse of his training, the heavyweight great has grabbed a lot of attention through the video. However, it wasn’t about himself, and the sole motive of the clip was to encourage the viewers regarding the vote polls. In the caption, Tyson wrote, “First time voter. Your vote = hope. It’s not too late in some states to register. Go to vote.gov for info. Miketysoncares.org.”

Despite that, the most noticeable element about Tyson is still his impending eight-round fight against ‘Captain Hook’ Roy Jones Jr. Ending a hiatus of 15 years in pro boxing, Tyson will stage his return on November 28 in California. It is no surprise that fight fans are highly excited about it.
