In an Instagram story, Nurmagomedov posted an old video of Mike Tyson shadowboxing in 1993. Moreover, he also wrote, “Insane energy from @miketyson.”
However, it is worth noting that he had previously spoken about having an unpleasant experience in Tyson’s ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson‘ podcast. In fact, Nurmagomedov asked Tyson and his crew to remove the smoking equipment before the podcast. When asked if “Iron’ Mike left any impression on him. He said, “No, he was not looking through me. I did not like his sight at all.”
Nurmagomedov also added, “I have told them, don’t have any smoke equipment on the table. I didn’t like it.”
Moreover, he also made an unfavorable comparison by saying that Cristiano Ronaldo looked more like an athlete than Tyson.

‘Iron’ Mike followed an extremely intense training regimen to become the legend that he is. Tyson’s day began much before that of a mere mortal. He used to wake up at 4 AM and start off his day with a 3-5 mile run. A rigorous sparring session and bag work followed this. In totality, this would be more exercise than a regular person gets in a week.
