A somber picture of Mike Tyson has been garnering glowing reviews and comments on X/Twitter. It shows the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history donning a black tee featuring an image of his younger self, black trousers, and Air Jordans. Staring at nothingness, he appeared lost in deep thought.
Mike Tyson tweeted a cryptic, “No Pictures please.” The former heavyweight champion probably checked the lone empty box in his resume. He assumed the role of a trainer last year. Already a living boxing legend, ‘Iron’ Mike, now leading a retired life with a hugely successful business, took a novice Francis Ngannou to boxing heights with his dazzling debut performance against Tyson Fury. No sooner had he shared the post, a bevy of fans and followers poured their hearts out. Especially noteworthy is how good Mike Tyson looked at his age.

From most of the comments, it could be gauged that everyone was simply in awe of the heavyweight icon. But that didn’t prevent a few from entwining his tweet with his iconic quote as well.
The following fan, first of all, complimented Mike Tyson for the t-shirt that he wore. They found it way too attractive, perhaps.
That’s a dope shirt 💪🏾

This fan seems to agree with what ‘Iron’ Mike stated. Finding it reasonable, they believe it would be a challenge for anyone to disagree or find fault with it.
Seems fair enough…
Nobody could argue with that… 🤴🐐🤴🐐— Barry Barker (@BarryBa38067473) January 14, 2024
Another fan, this follower, recalled how they used to watch Mike Tyson fight in the late 1980s. Turning nostalgic, they even mentioned how they made it to the local news by calling the fight in the former heavyweight champion’s favor.
You looking great Mike! I saw you fight back in the late 80s. I made the local news as a kid calling the fight for you.

This die-hard fan, while pouring heaps of praise for Tyson, even went to the extent of claiming that he could have easily taken down martial arts legend and actor Bruce Lee.
You are the greatest champion of all time. You could have beaten Bruce Lee

This follower played with the famous Mike Tyson quote, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” So while they might be prepared for a photo, the moment they hear the word ‘cheese’, tables turn, the follower said.
Everyone is ready for a picture until they say cheese

Last month, fans also joined in lauding Mike Tyson as he announced his collaboration with clothing and accessory giant Zumiez for their exclusive ‘Mike Tyson Collection.’
Undoubtedly, from the time when he lost his crown to ‘Buster’ Douglas to the years that followed his retirement, the world had been topsy-turvy for Mike Tyson. However, after settling down with his family, his foray into entrepreneurship and entertainment proved a boon. Ever since, he hasn’t looked back, crossing one milestone after another. As far as boxing is concerned, in his new role as boxing elder, he remains one of the preeminent voices in the sport.
