The world got to witness Mike Tyson inside the ring for the last time again in November 2020, after he retired in 2005. Upon his return, Tyson showed that age wouldn’t be a hindrance in him facing the then 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. Reportedly, it was the last and final time Tyson got inside the ring, but still, Tyson hasn’t stopped training to keep his body in good condition. He’s currently training under the famous Brazilian coach, Rafael Cordeiro, who was himself a force to be reckoned with, during his time as an MMA fighter.

Now Tyson trains his body, as he was once a 400-pound man. At that time, he restarted his boxing training again, to keep in touch with his skills and techniques. He knew he had to make a comeback, as he hit rock bottom when he ate 10,000 calories and felt like “dying”. Even though Tyson wouldn’t be getting inside the ring again, the fans get a glimpse of his boxing training every now and then. And recently, Tyson posted a video clip on his Instagram handle, where he gave a little peek inside his training camp.
