Mike Tyson is officially fired up for the Olympics.

With Friday's Opening Ceremonies approaching, the boxing legend took to social media and said he is excited to watch Team USA attempt to capture the gold during the boxing competitions:

While Tyson himself never fought in the Olympics, he did win back-to-back gold medals in the Junior Olympics in 1981 and 1982. He then went on to make his professional debut in 1985 and became one of the most memorable boxers in the history of the sport.
