Mike Tyson shows off seriously impressive body transformation as 54-year-old prepares for Roy Jones Jr | talkSPORT

Mike Tyson has worked himself into impressive shape after returning to training for the Roy Jones Jr fight.

The iconic former heavyweight champion has now turned 54 and is set to return to the ring for an exhibition bout on Saturday night.

Speaking on an Instagram Live with rapper T.I. at the start of lockdown, he initially said: “I’ve been hitting the mitts for the last week.

“That’s been tough, my body is really jacked up and really sore from hitting the mitts.

“I’ve been working out, I’ve been trying to get in the ring, I think I’m going to box some exhibitions and get in shape.

“I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.

“Some charity exhibitions, make some money, help some homeless and drug-affected motherf****er like me.

“I do two hours on cardio, I do the bike and the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps.

“Then I start my day with the boxing thing, I go in there and hit the mitts, 30 minutes, 25 minutes, start getting in better condition.

“I’m start to put those combinations together. I’m in pain, I feel like three guys kicked the s*** out of me.”

Tyson also uploaded a clip of him smashing the pads, showing he's not lost any of his ferocious speed and power.
