MIKE Tyson might be 57 years old – but he’s gearing up for a huge fight against Jake Paul in the summer.
‘Iron’ Mike forged a legendary boxing career in the 1980s and 90s, knockout out opponent after opponent, becoming a superstar in the process.

He ultimately had his streak broken in 1990, losing in shocking fashion to 42/1 betting outside Buster Douglas.
After that, he had huge fights against Frank Bruno, Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis.
After his retirement, Tyson went on to star in Hollywood fim The Hangover and has started his own podcast called Hotboxin’.
When was Mike Tyson’s last fight?
Mike Tyson finished his professional boxing career in 2005, losing to Kevin McBride by KO in his last ever fight.
His last win came in June 2003 against Clifford Etienne.
Tyson then made a return in an exhibition fight against fellow legendary boxer Roy Jones Jr in 2020.
The pair fought to an unofficial draw, while Jake Paul beat Nate Robinson on the undercard.
Tyson said of his clash with Paul: “He’s grown significantly as a boxer over the years, so it will be a lot of fun to see what the will and ambition of a kid can do with the experience and aptitude of a GOAT,” he said.
“It’s a full circle moment that will be beyond thrilling to watch.
“I started him on his boxing journey on the undercard of my fight with Roy Jones and now I plan to finish him.”
