Mike Tyson is back, the fearsome heavyweight who is 57 years old and has become an actor, podcaster, and stand-up comedian during his retirement from the sport, yet Tyson’s boxing past continues to marvel fans over the nostalgia of what he used to be.
At his peak, Tyson was terrifying, knocking out opponents in seconds, many of them were up to 5 to 10 inches taller than Tyson. As Tyson began getting out of debt and repositioning himself as a brand and person since 2010, the clamor to have him return to the ring resulted in an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr which ended in a draw in 2020.
