Mike Tyson reveals he is training for surprise boxing return

Mike Tyson has revealed that he is training for a return to boxing and plans to take part in four-round exhibition fights for charity.

 

The 53-year-old hasn’t fought in the ring since June 2005 when he was beaten by Kevin McBride in the final fight of his professional career.

 

But the former undisputed world heavyweight champion is now getting back in shape in order to make a surprise return to boxing. Speaking on a live Instagram video with rapper T.I, Tyson revealed he has already begun training with cardio and weights sessions, as well as boxing pad work.

 

‘I’ve been hitting the mitts for the last week. That’s been tough, my body is really jacked up and really sore from hitting the mitts,’ said Tyson.
