We are just a few days away from Mike Tyson‘s historic and controversial fight against Jake Paul on November 15th at the AT&T Stadium in Texas. Fans were worried about the legendary boxer’s return to the ring, considering his age and deteriorating health. They must have felt slightly relieved after seeing the 58-year-old still command a dominating aura in the ring during Tuesday’s public workout.

While the Brooklyn native showed everyone a ferocious workout, his post-workout message to his kids stole the spotlight. Tyson left a hilarious and heartwarming message for all his kids that forced a reaction out of his daughter, Milan Tyson.

Daddy’s a big deal

After the workout, Sibley Scoles asked Tyson about the importance of family and how they have supported Tyson with the decision. The former heavyweight champion acknowledged the sacrifice made by his family and stated, “Well, family’s everything,” before hilariously stating how his kids have no what a big deal he is.

Mike Tyson stated, “To my kids I’m nobody, but that night they’re gonna find out their father’s very special.” He further spoke about how this fight against Jake Paul would show his kids the aura he used to carry and the fandom he had built, which they never got to see. “I don’t wanna say they take me for granted, but they talk a lot of mess to me that nobody else would,” stated Tyson.

But the demeanor of the former youngest heavyweight champion instantly changed when Scoles asked him to leave a message for his kids. Without missing a beat Tyson stated, “I love you very much, I can’t wait to see you,” as the camera pointed toward his eldest son Amir Tyson, seated ringside, who was not able to control his laughter.

Amir Tyson is part of the broadcasting team and will be present during the match along with the rest of the family. Milan Tyson re-shared the message on her Instagram stories. While she did not write anything, it was evident that she was proud of her father and what he was doing at such an age.

Mike Tyson’s kids must have been quite relieved after seeing their father work the ring, as the 50-6 boxer showed the world why he was such a feared man.

Mike Tyson’s ferocious workout

Over the past few months, fans have been seeing clips of Iron Mike and his workouts. But no one knew the extent of his stamina and strength and fans were doubtful. But the open workout changed everything as the Baddest Man On The Planet showed a similar destructive power that he was once known for. The commentators were losing their minds and were in awe of the physical shape of the Brooklyn native.

The legend showed sensational speed and destructive power, and it even surprised him a bit. After the workout, Mike Tyson stated that these last four months have made him realize that “I am tougher than I believe I was.” 

The 58-year-old further explained that during the initial days of training, he was just wondering why he accepted this fight. “When I agreed to this fight, and I started training, I said, ‘What the f**k, who am I thinking of?” But he finished the process and now that all the hard work is done, “the fight is the party.”

The open workout has made it evident that Mike Tyson is in far better shape than everyone thought he would be. With his family present in the AT&T Stadium to support him on fight night, he would like to show his kids something worthwhile.
