Mike Tyson is one of the biggest punchers in boxing history, and even at 57 it looks that ‘Iron Mike’ still has incredible knockout power.
The American was one of the most fearsome boxers of all time, winning 44 of his 50 fights by knockout and becoming the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title.
He earned KO wins over some of the biggest names in the division, including Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks and Frank Bruno, but did also suffer defeats against the likes of Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield and James ‘Buster’ Douglas.
After retiring back in 2005, ‘Iron Mike’ made a surprise return to the sport when he took on fellow legend Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout in November 2020.
Many fans were stunned to see that Tyson’s power and speed still remained way into his 50s, and over three years later he still appears to be as ferocious, in footage first posted by Rafael Cordeiro on Instagram.

During his career, Tyson reigned as undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, and his namesake Tyson Fury will be hoping to repeat that feat when he meets Oleksandr Usyk in Saudi Arabia on May 18.
