Mike Tyson is one of the fiercest boxers to ever hit the ring. He became the youngest ever heavyweight champion back in 1986 at the age of 20 and won 50 of his 58 fights before he called it quits.
At the age of 53, Tyson released this short, but viral workout video.
He sat down to do an IG Live video with rapper T.I. and said the he would like to do some exhibition fights in the near future.
Via NY Post:
“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,” Tyson said. “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. 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.”
Then on Monday, Tyson took to social media again, this time on Instagram, to post another workout video and concluded it with the message, "I'm back".
Since the rumors of a return, challengers have been lining up for a potential shot at "Iron Mike". New Zealand Rugby star Sonny Bill Williams, Tyson Fury's Father, and even Evander Holyfield have all expressed interest in a match.

Tyson said he hopes the fights will raise money to "help some homeless and drug-affected motherf----- like me."
