Mike Tyson eyes comeback


Former undisputed heavyweight Boxing champion of the world, Iron Mike Tyson is currently intensifying training ahead of a return to boxing later in 2020.  
However, Tyson is only planning to compete in four-round charity bouts.
‘Iron Mike’ last fought professionally in 2005 when he retired on his stool against journeyman Kevin McBride after a glittering and violent career in the ring.  
Tyson who is currently 53 years old insists he is in the best shape of his life as he continues to share his workouts with fans on social media.  
He explained more how his workouts have been going.
“I’ve been hitting the mitts for the last week,” he said on an Instagram Live with rapper T.I. 


“That’s been tough, my body is really jacked up and really sore from hitting the mitts.  
“I’ve been working out, I’ve been trying to get in the ring, I think I’m going to box some exhibitions and get in shape.  
“I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.  
“Some charity exhibitions, make some money, help some homeless and drug-affected motherf****er like me.
“I do two hours on cardio, I do the bike and the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps.  
“Then I start my day with the boxing thing, I go in there and hit the mitts, 30 minutes, 25 minutes, start getting in better condition.  
“I’m start to put those combinations together. I’m in pain, I feel like three guys kicked the s*** out of me,” he said.  
At the age of just 20, Tyson stopped Trevor Berbick to claim the world heavyweight championship and cement his name into heavyweight history forever.
In total, he stopped 44 of his 50 opponents and the New Yorker is confident he would have cleaned out the current crop of heavyweights at his destructive best.
His former trainer went one further and insisted he could beat the best in the world now after just six weeks of training and eating correctly.
