Boxing icon Mike Tyson continues to display his formidable prowess well into his late 50s, maintaining a menacing aura that defined his prime years in the ring. Known as 'Iron Mike,' Tyson has kept a low profile since his exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, marking his first fight in over 15 years.
Despite the long hiatus, Tyson's performance in the ring against Jones Jr. suggested that he had not lost his touch, with the former heavyweight champion exhibiting impressive skill and prowess.
Since then, Tyson has kept the boxing world on edge with hints of a potential return, stating that he would consider stepping back into the ring if presented with an intriguing offer. Despite calls for fights from the likes of Jake Paul and other contenders, Tyson has not expressed significant interest in making a comeback. Nonetheless, he has maintained his physical conditioning, seemingly ready for action if the right opportunity arises.
In a recent development, footage surfaced of Tyson training under the guidance of his coach, Rafael Cordeiro, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Despite approaching his 58th birthday, Tyson displayed no signs of slowing down, showcasing his trademark power and speed while hitting the pads. Cordeiro shared the training session on social media, captioning the post with gratitude towards Tyson for their continued work together.
The training session comes amidst swirling rumors of Tyson's potential return to the ring. Recent reports linked Tyson to a possible bout with former Bellator contender Fedor Emelianenko, who called out Tyson following his retirement from MMA. Additionally, Tyson was rumored to be in talks for a boxing match with retired ighter Mark Hunt, who had announced his return to combat sports.
However, Tyson's camp has since dismissed these reports, indicating that the former champion is not currently pursuing fights with Emelianenko or Hunt. Despite this, Tyson's recent training footage suggests that he is preparing for something significant, keeping fans and the boxing world eagerly anticipating his next move.
