Whenever we talk about the lethal knockout artists of boxing, there’s no way we miss the former heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson. He is known to be one of the scariest men to have ever laced up the gloves. Boasting a professional record of 50 wins and 6 losses, Tyson has knocked out 44 of his opponents and in horrific fashion.
That said, the 54-year-old still has a similar crack on his fist. As he gears up for the upcoming eight-round battle against Roy Jones Jr, Tyson has already impressed the fans with his training videos. Flexing his speed and power, ‘Iron’ still appears to be a wild persona. Thus, it can be a stern test for Roy Jones ahead.

Tyson is apparently landing haymakers in the video, and he is a master of that art. Since becoming the youngest heavyweight champion of the world at the age of 20, Tyson has faced numerous elites in his career. His experience, skill, and power make him one of the strongest boxers of all time. Despite his age, he would still know how to finish his opponents in style.
However, Roy Jones is a former four-division champion, having a record of 66 wins and 9 losses. While Tyson had retired in 2005, Roy Jones hung up his gloves in 2018. So, his activity in the pro run brings a lot of benefits.
