The retired boxer still has the potential and the strength to cause a one-punch knockout 17 years after his official retirement. Mike Tyson is one of the best strikers in the world and is still one of the boxers who have the most powerful fists. His latest exhibition, or return to the ring, is back in 2020 when he proves that he still has it. The bout is against Roy Jones Jr, another boxing legend, also in retirement.
Mike Tyson, now more than ever posts on his social media letting the world know that he is still in shape. This time he posts footage of his most recent training with his coach Rafael Cordeiro on Instagram, where it can be seen that he fires some brutally strong shots to the pads that Rafael is holding for him.
Mike Tyson Busts His Coach’s Lip While Training
“When you play with fire eventually you will get burned. Sorry about that.” – Tyson says in the caption.
As Tyson goes through his combination, he somehow misses his last left hook, and instead of hitting the pad, his fist lands on the lower part of Cordeiro’s face. The coach shows off his ripped lower lip and jokes around. “Today was the day. You play with fire it sometimes happens.” – he says.
Over the past period, Tyson has been focusing on his business and podcast. However, he seems to always find time to throw in some boxing sessions just to stay in shape. The boxer, ‘The Baddest Man on the planet’ now is seemingly looking for a return in the ring. He goes through numerous call-outs by the Paul brothers and even says that he might consider fighting one of them. He might accept just for the thrill of it and for breaking Floyd Mayweather’s pay-per-view record.
Joe Rogan, the UFC commentator, and podcaster is a good friend of the boxer. In a recent episode of his podcast, he confirms that there are ongoing negotiations for a fight between Tyson and one of the Paul brothers. Furthermore, Rogan claims that the boxer starts using supplements and intensifies his training in order to prepare for a fight.
And when you look at it from Tyson’s place, there is one great reason to accept a return to the ring for an exhibition match. The estimate on the worth of the rumored bout between him and Jake Paul exceeds $100 million. The Paul brothers and Mike Tyson allegedly met several times in the past period.
But according to them, there are still no initiation of negotiations. They just meet as friends to have a chat and hang around. Of course, all this while passing some of the first quality weed from Mike’s weed farm. What do you think? Should Mike return to the ring once more? Who do you think he should pick, Jake or Logan?
