Mike Tyson looks ferocious on pads in retirement as boxing legend shares frightening throwback clip
MIKE TYSON has once again shown that he had lost none of his ferocity or speed prior to his return to the ring.
The 56-year-old icon – who was recently spotted in a wheelchair – doesn’t need to worry about a comeback these days as he earns a whopping £500k-a-month from his cannabis empire.
The heavyweight legend made a stunning return in November 2020, more than 15 years after he announced his retirement from boxing.
Tyson drew in an eight-round exhibition with fellow American great Roy Jones Jr, 53, on a Triller pay-per-view which sold a reported 1.6million packages.
It then emerged in late 2021 that Tyson was in advanced negotiations for a mega money fight with YouTuber Logan Paul.
However, those negotiations broke down and nothing has been reported since now regarding the icon stepping back in the ring.

But he has teased his fanbase about another comeback several times by sharing images and footage of him in training.
Now the superstar has done it again by posting more footage of him back in the ring on his Instagram page.
However, it has now emerged that the clip was prior to that Jones Jr clash, and he looked in top form as he bobbed and weaved in the clip while delivering vicious punches.
Tyson himself seemed pretty proud of his efforts, captioning the video with: “Roll with the punches.”

Following the commercial success of his comeback, he admitted boxing became more of a burden again.
However, now it seems that he could be hinting at another return.
But the former boxer has also suffered with health issues in recent months but looked fighting fit as he went out for dinner in New York recently.
Iron Mike has revealed he is suffering from sciatica and a flare-up of the condition causes pain that can leave him needing a wheelchair to get around.
