Mike Tyson is currently preparing for a fight early next year. Although Tyson has not revealed who he is fighting, he has started training for the same. ‘Iron’ Mike took some time to interact with some of the select media present at his gym as his trainer was wrapping his hand.

Elie Seckbach captured the moment on his YouTube channel.

At the same time, Seckbach asked ‘Iron’ Mike if he would help train Anthony ‘AJ’ Joshua. The former unified heavyweight champion is in search of a new boxing coach and came to the US to visit various gyms and trainers.

“Absolutely, what do you think coach? Absolutely, listen, you know what, I was talking sh*t man, but he’s still a young guy, he’s still got so much to learn you know what I mean? He’s always gonna be the future man coz he’s just a f**king baby. He started late in the game so he’s still learning,” said Tyson.

Anthony Joshua recently visited several gyms in the United States. This included Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s gym where his former opponent Andy Ruiz Jr. trains alongside legendary trainer Eddy Reynoso.

Reporters caught Canelo and ‘AJ’ sharing a few laughs and light-hearted moments with each other.

Although Tyson has not confirmed his opponent yet, word around the grapevine is that he will be fighting Logan Paul.

A fight between Logan Paul and Mike Tyson would attract a lot of attention and would sell well. It even has the potential to eclipse the ‘Money’ vs ‘The Maverick’ fight.
