However, this time it is not an exhibition but a sparring match with his trainer inside the facilities of Tyson’s private gym. While Tyson’s trainer, all padded up, confronted the Kid Dynamite, Tyson, reminding of the old days, hit the former with loaded hooks side by side.

While most of the fans seemed really impressed, one wrote, “We can’t even tell if it was a liver shot or it was blocked because of the camera angle.”
But one right then wrote the following: “I remember watching him on television when he was 19 and a blur of speed and raw power.”

Well, that goes for the reactions. But who is Tyson training for at this moment?

A few months back, Jake Paul explicitly expressed his willingness to fight Tyson. However, Tyson never announced a concrete verdict and so The Problem Child vs. Iron never actually took off. However, lately, Tyson took to Instagram and hinted at squaring off with Logan Paul. Maybe Tyson is training to face off one of the Paul brothers. Only time would tell.
