Mike Tyson boasts he is in ‘best shape ever’ aged 53 and considering getting ‘whole body’ tattooed

MIKE TYSON has revealed he is considering getting his whole body covered in tattoos after claiming he is in the best shape of his life.

The 53-year-old – who was recently crowned as the eWBSS heavyweight champion after outpointing Muhammad Ali in a thrilling final – already boasts a number of iconic tattoos.

One of Tyson’s most iconic inkings is his tribal design on the left side of his face, which he got just a week before his 2003 bout against Clifford Etienne.

The American also has the face of former Chinese leader Mao Zedong on his right arm, along with a portrait of Che Guevara on his rib cage.

And Tyson has insisted he is thinking about getting more artwork, as he stated he has never felt in better condition than he does right now, despite hanging up his gloves in 2005.

In an interview with WBC Talks, he said: “I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in my totally life of existence. I have no complaints.

“This is the best time of my life. As a human being, I feel like sky is the limit and nothing could go wrong.

“I am very fit. The best I ever been in my life. I’m training everyday.”

He added: “The other day, I was thinking about just getting a tattoo. I’m in such good physical condition.

“I was just thinking about getting my whole body inked up.”

Tyson recently declared that he would destroy both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury if they ever fought when he was in his prime, while he admitted that he would lose to Ali.

And his ex-trainer Jeff Fenech has insisted that he would KO Deontay Wilder within a minute if the two ever faced each other in the ring.
