Mike Tyson is currently training for his next fight. After making his comeback last year, the former heavyweight champion has spoken about his plans to fight in February next year. Although he has not decided who he will fight next, he will definitely enter the ring early next year.
In preparation for his fight, Tyson trains regularly. Earlier today, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ released a workout video where he put three free-standing punching bags to the test. Tyson uploaded the video to his Instagram account to promote the bag and the company.
Although the video is a brand endorsement, Tyson goes all out on all three bags to try to knock them down or get them to move outside a square marked on the floor.

Out of the three bags, one bag lasted only for 6 seconds, as Tyson hit it with three consecutive punches. The primary punch he used on the bags was his devastating right hand. This punch is one of the most feared, and one of the most powerful punches in the sport of boxing. Another bag lasted just 12 seconds as Tyson successfully moved it out of the square marked on the ground.
