Mike Tyson is undoubtedly a blueprint of success for several youngsters, those who envision making it big in the sport of boxing. Although Tyson has tried hands-on several other things in his life, boxing will remain the prime reason for his global stardom. Meanwhile, the sport continues to be a part of Tyson’s life even to this day.

Aged 55, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ can potentially re-appear in the ring. Having performed commendably on his returning exhibition bout in 2020, Tyson sparked rumors of being active in the trend. He looked exceptionally well for someone of his age against Roy Jones Jr. That said, Tyson recently posted a picture of him donning the boxing gloves, and advised his followers to reclaim their true strength.
