You have to give Mike Tyson credit for the way he is working out.
Tyson, the former heavyweight boxing champion of the world, will return to action later this year vs. Jake Paul. And while may are not giving him a chance, “Iron” is showing he is serious.
Tyson, who will turn 58 years old in June, is set to tangle with Paul on July 20 from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The bout will headline an event that streams live on Netflix.
For a career that started in 1985, Tyson has fought the best of the best. He won his first 37 matches before losing to Buster Douglas in 1990, costing him the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.

He reclaimed both the WBC and WBA belts six years later before back-to-back defeats at the hands of Evander Holyfield.
Tyson would never wear gold again, losing to Lennox Lewis in 2002 for the titles. His last official win came in 2003 when he knocked out Clifford Etienne for his 50th victory.
Despite all that, Tyson is showing off his incredible figure and quick striking on social media.

Paul, meanwhile, just turned 27 years old this past January. His only loss in 10 pro bouts is to Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy, last February.
He holds wins over Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley and former NBA star Nate Robinson.
In March, Paul finished Ryan Bourland inside of the first round for his sixth career knockout.
