Latest Episode of Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson Reveals the Ugly Truth About the Boxer’s Age

Mike Tyson is one of the most recognizable figures in the sport’s history. The former heavyweight champion of the world continues to make headlines despite retiring in 2006. And his comeback to the sport at 54 was one of the biggest reasons for this.

Tyson underwent an incredible body transformation and lost a lot of weight despite being past 50. As a result, many fans got excited about his return. And while the fight did not disappoint, it showed why boxers retire at around the 40-year mark.

Moreover, the latest episode of Mike Tyson’s podcast, ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson,’ showed the harsh reality of ‘Iron Mike.’ Tyson welcomed famous Hip-Hop artist T-Pain on the show.

However, the 50-6 boxer looked much older than what he did a few months back. The video showed ‘Iron Mike’ with a fully gray beard, gray hair, and a shadow of himself when compared to his comeback fight.

Thus, this should be a reminder to fans that Mike Tyson is, in fact, 54-year-old. Furthermore, it will also explain why ‘Iron Mike’ has not rushed into a return to the ring.

Will Mike Tyson fight Lennox Lewis?

Tyson has stopped posting any videos or pictures of his training on his social media. And this raised a few eyebrows since ‘Iron Mike’ constantly teased a return to the ring. However, his appearance in the latest episode will answer many questions. So what about his potential bout against Lennox Lewis?

Tyson has insisted he wants to fight multiple exhibitions. And next on the list was his old rival, Lennox Lewis. However, considering Tyson is not training and doesn’t look to be in good shape, the bout may not happen.

The next exhibition could be Mike Tyson’s last, and fans would rather watch him take on Evander Holyfield for the trilogy. Therefore, it looks increasingly unlikely that Mike Tyson will revisit his rivalry with Lennox Lewis?

What do you make of Mike Tyson’s appearance on the latest episode? Do you think it’s time for ‘Iron Mike’ to give up the idea of fighting again?
