LONDON – Former undisputed world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson broke the internet again on Tuesday, this time after taking off his shirt while working out and displaying the physique of a 25-year-old in his prime.
The boxing great has been working out after announcing he was returning to the boxing ring to take part in exhibition fights to help raise money for charity.
Speculation about who he will step into the ring with has been rife, with names such as Sonny Bill Williams, Evander Holyfield and Shannon Briggs thrown about.
