Mike Tyson has shown off his ripped physique aged 57 while claiming he’s still “got it”.
The American dominated boxing in the late 1980s, becoming the sport’s youngest ever heavyweight champion aged 20 in 1986. He blitzed through the division, winning 37 bouts on the trot, before a shock defeat to Buster Douglas in 1990.
Tyson called time on his career in 2005 at the age of 38 after suffering successive losses to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. But that has not stopped ‘Iron Mike’ from keeping up with his training and even taking on exhibition fights.

And the boxing legend, dubbed the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, took to social media this week to flaunt his stunning physique with a photo on Instagram. It showed Tyson flexing his muscles in intimidating fashion, along with the caption: “Still got it.”
His muscular body will come as no surprise to those who have kept up with the Brooklyn-born star in recent years. Tyson wowed fans as he shared footage of himself working out with MMA trainer Rafael Cordeiro in 2020.

Now Tyson is training former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou ahead of his highly-anticipated boxing match against WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The 57-year-old was approached by Ngannou ahead of the October 28 clash in order to aid his striking skills and ring intelligence.

Speaking ahead of the bout in Saudi Arabia, Tyson told the Daily Mail: “How many times do you really get to be involved in an immortal event? How many times in my life will I be able to do something like this?
“Something of this magnitude. So, of course I would want to be involved in this and say yes to being a part of this.”
