Mike Tyson made the rounds earlier this year when the heavyweight legend announced that he would be making a comeback to the boxing ring.

‘Iron Mike’ uploaded training footage of a workout session with MMA and boxing coach Rafael Cordeiro in a video that went viral with over 6.2 million views.

Tyson, who turned 54 in June, looked absolutely ferocious hitting the pads but the former world heavyweight boxing champion revealed in a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience that he was ‘in bed for a week’ after that training session.

“Getting in shape and getting conditioned are two different animals,” Tyson told Rogan (h/t Derek Hall of Middle Easy).
