Mike Tyson lands huge body shots as 56-year-old legend spars with trainer

Mike Tyson has been filmed landing huge body shots in a sparring session with trainer Rafael Cordeiro.

The boxing legend, now 56, retired from the sport in 2005 after an epic heavyweight career which reached its pinnacle when he became undisputed champion. He recently made a comeback in an exhibition fight against Roy Jones Jr back in 2020 where he showed glimpses of his power.

Tyson has remained in training in California alongside trainer Cordeiro at the MMA Gym, Kings MMA. Cordeiro posted a video of the pair sharing the ring in a sparring session on Instagram, with the caption: "Light sparring with the tiger." Cordeiro can be seen with a big body pad on while Tyson throws a powerful whipping left hook into the torso of his trainer before following up with another thundering right hand.
