Before taking on Jake Paul, Mike Tyson looked absolutely ripped as he headed out for his most recent training session.
And Wednesday, the 57-year-old was accompanied on a walk down memory lane by fellow former boxing superstar Shannon Briggs.

against July 20, the legendary Iron Mike, a former heavyweight champion, will step back into the ring to take against YouTuber Paul.
Two weeks prior to the bout with the 27-year-old, one of boxing’s most illustrious characters, Tyson, would turn 58.
When video of the veteran warming up for the exhibition match went viral lately, fans were alarmed.
But this week, he and Briggs went back to Brownsville, Brooklyn, the neighborhood he relocated to when he was ten years old and spent a number of his formative years there.Then, a video of them at their old stamping ground went viral on social media. It featured the boxing friends laughingly sparring while wearing their shirts off, surrounded by onlookers.
Briggs attempted to raise Tyson’s leg and knock him to the ground during their brief slаp figҺt, but the two broke out into giggles and declared a truce.Tyson shared a video of the altercation and stated, “Brownsville’s finest always up for a figҺt.” I adore this man.
And after watching this video, fans of the erstwhile Baddest Man on the Planet appeared to be much more impressed.”@MikeTyson will be 58 years old on June 30,” one comment said. He remаins the greatest person to enter the Ring. @jakepaul, may God bless you.
Another person said, “Dаmn Champ, you still got it,” while another noted he looked “ripped” and “incredible.”Someone else commented to Tyson that he was “looking fierce.”
A fifth person said, “You are always the Champ!!!!!”
The last figҺt Tyson engaged in was an exhibition matchup with Roy Jones Jr. in 2020.
He retired from professional wrestling in 2005 at the age of 39.
In his previous bout earlier this year, The Problem Child brutally knocked out Ryan Bourland in the first round.
After losing to Tommy Fury in February 2023, Paul has won his previous three fights; nonetheless, he will now take on one of the best boxers of all time..
