MIKE TYSON’S most recent training clip left The Undertaker in awe while 50 Cent said the 53-year-old “looks like he can win another title”.
Tyson has been in the gym for the last month under MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro after announcing shock plans to make a comeback to fight in exhibition bouts for charity.
Mike Tyson has begun training again after announcing comeback plans
50 Cent and The Undertaker were among those who left comments under Tyson’s video
And the pair’s latest viral training video has rapper 50 Cent – a once friend and now foe of Floyd Mayweather – and WWE legend Undertaker excited about his proposed ring return.
50 Cent said: “Mike looks like he can win another title. Wait, there’s gotta be some more money around here.”
And Undertaker commented “Iron Mike” accompanied by two emojis.
Tyson, who last fought professionally 15 years ago, has been stepping up his training in recent weeks working on speed with pad work as well as separate cardio sessions.
He has received numerous big-money proposals – including from former rugby star Sonny Bill Williams and Tyson Fury’s dad John – but will only entertain more serious offers.
As SunSport revealed, Tyson is only willing to step into the ring with a “bona fide” opponent as he does not want to disrespect the sport he loves.
A source said: “Mike has ruled out the prospect of the exhibition bout in Australia because he does not want to fight a cross-over athlete.
“If Mike returns to boxing, it will only be to fight another bona fide boxer. Mike believes anything else would be an insult to the sport.”
But a trilogy bout against Evander Holyfield, 57, is certainly gaining traction with Tyson’s rival set to make his own comeback for charity.
Holyfield, who twice beat Tyson, is open to a third fight and has since released his own training clips.
