Tyson was one of the fittest heavyweights in his prime. The former champion and his trainer, Cus D’Amato, engaged in some of the most grueling training sessions at the time. And Tyson’s ‘Iron’ physique was a testament to his hard work and determination.

Talking about today’s fighters, Tyson said, “You can just look at the fighters now they, maybe they are bigger, but look they have no respect for the way their bodies look.”
