Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson showed off his speed and power anew as he teases upcoming boxing return with another terrifying workout clip.
Tyson, 53, stunned the boxing world last week as he posted a video of his pad workout with coach Rafael Cordeiro days after he announced he is coming out retirement to compete in non-professional bouts.
“I’ve been hitting the mitts for the last week. 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 mother-f—– like me. 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 starting to put those combinations together. I’m in pain. I feel like three guys kicked the s— out of me.”

Unstoppable
Meanwhile, in a Facebook live session by #PlayApartTogether, ‘Iron Mike’said he is itching to fight in the ring again in hopes to help the poor and the homeless through charity bouts.
“That’s all I’ve been doing, getting into shape,” he said.
“I feel unstoppable now. I feel the same again. The gods of war ignited my ego and want me to go to war again. Imagine if I went out there and fought and I could help all these people we talked about.”
The 53-year old legend last fought in 2005, when he suffered a tehcnical knockout loss to Kevin McBride, capping off his illustrious boxing career with a 50-6 (2NC) record.
Tyson is known as one of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight division to set foot in the ring, winning 44 of his 58 fights by way of knockout.
At age 20, he captured his first world title to become the youngest heavyweight champion in the history.

‘I’m Back’
Declaring his official return, Tyson dropped another footage of his intense workout that ended with him saying the two-word statement.
‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ will have plenty of options for his comeback fight as he has received a lucrative offer to take his act at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship while Tyson Fury’s father has challenged him to a boxing fight.
A trilogy bout with old rival Evander Holyfield is also a possibility after the four-time heavyweight champion announced he, too, is making a boxing comeback.
