Mike Tyson is truly back in full force, first announcing his return to boxing and now showing off his shredded bod while training. At 53-years-old no one would be expecting the boxing legend to still be putting work in to be in peak condition, which just goes to prove how physically gifted (and disciplined) Tyson is.
The baddest man on the planet explained he lost around 63kgs by going vegan a couple years back, saying in 2013 “When I was training for fights – a lot of meat, cheese, bread. I devoured everything besides pork. I used to eat a lot. As I got older I didn’t like the way I was feeling. I had a lot of arthritis, joint problems and I was morbidly obese.” He credits his wife for putting him onto the vegan diet.
If you took away the grey beard and added a little hair, the Tyson in the clip would look exactly the same as the Tyson in the 90s, his sculpted arms and abs looking as sharp as ever.
No doubt he’s just as quick as he was back then as well, the Hangover star throwing multiple punches in quick succession in the vid. It’s not the only time he’s given fans a peak of his quickness, recently posting a vid showing off his punching speed and power with a trainer.
Safe to say we are indescribably keen to see Tyson put on the gloves one more time. It’ll be monumental at the very least…
