“ Can’t Do It Alone…”- Amid “Hero” Mike Tyson Training Francis Ngannou, 58-Year-Old First UFC HW Champ Who Asked for Boxing Legend’s Help Provides Update on Combat Sports Return

Mike Tyson continues to inspire fighters. But his influence is not limited to the up-and-coming ones, as his contemporaries also believe that the boxer remains a figure worth emulating. The speed, sharpness, sheer focus, and absolute carnage that ‘Iron Mike’ brought into the ring were unparalleled. Therefore, he emerged as an icon who defined the word ‘fighting’ for athletes. Many fighters have looked to him as an inspiration, and that’s what the UFC’s first-ever heavyweight champion is doing ahead of his comeback.

Mark Coleman shocked the combat world when he announced his comeback from fighting. However, this time it is the squared circle instead of a steel cage, as he recently signed a contract with Celebrity Boxing. Notably, he will face Montell Griffin on October 14 in Miami, returning to the fight business after a stretch of almost 13 years. Comebacks are tough, and they are even tougher when you are 58. So how does he plan to win his boxing debut match? By following his “hero”.
