Tyson serious about comeback at 53
The one-time ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ is back! – At the age of 53, ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson is out to prove he can still cut it in the ring after all these years.
Judging by a now-viral clip posted on Friday, Tyson has his old lightning-fast speed and reflexes in abundance.
The reactions are unreal. A six-punch onslaught, which almost took his training partner’s head off, is evidence enough that Tyson is ready for the four-round exhibitions he craves.
Having been out of action for 15 years, there was immediate skepticism. But not when it comes to viewing just how in-shape and deadly Tyson still is.
An icon in the 1980s, Tyson ruled all of boxing for a destructive five-year spell. That’s until one fateful night in Tokyo ended it all.
James ‘Buster’ Douglas knocked out the undisputed champion, who by this time was embroiled in a world of turmoil and mental pain.
The whole planet watched in shock as one of the biggest upsets in history went down in controversial circumstances.
