That said, the 54-year-old still has a similar crack on his fist. As he gears up for the upcoming eight-round battle against Roy Jones Jr, Tyson has already impressed the fans with his training videos. Flexing his speed and power, ‘Iron’ still appears to be a wild persona. Thus, it can be a stern test for Roy Jones ahead.

54 years old Mike Tyson can still land bombs

‘Iron Mike’’s latest video has made a few rounds on the internet and people cannot ignore his prowess. The compilation of Tyson’s training videos showcases the former champion’s work on boxing bags, punching machines, and his sparring sessions. If he appears in a similar form on the fight night, it can be trouble for ‘Captain Hook’ Roy Jones Jr.

Tyson is apparently landing haymakers in the video, and he is a master of that art. Since becoming the youngest heavyweight champion of the world at the age of 20, Tyson has faced numerous elites in his career. His experience, skill, and power make him one of the strongest boxers of all time. Despite his age, he would still know how to finish his opponents in style.

However, Roy Jones is a former four-division champion, having a record of 66 wins and 9 losses. While Tyson had retired in 2005, Roy Jones hung up his gloves in 2018. So, his activity in the pro run brings a lot of benefits.

The fight will happen on November 28 in California and WBC has organized a special belt for the event. Bringing two of the former champions back to the ring has given fight fans an amazing blockbuster to look forward to. Apart from the boxing legends, YouTuber Jake Paul will also fight NBA player Nate Robinson on the same night. Thus, it will be an entertaining fight feast for fans back-to-back on the same event.
