But the final left hook of his four-punch sequence was so hard that coach Rafael Cordeiro’s mitt smacked the trainer in the face.

It left the MMA mastermind with a cut lip and saying: “Play with fire, sometimes this happens.”

Cordeiro was the man in Tyson’s corner the night the celebrated puncher made his remarkable return to the ring.

Tyson, 55, drew over eight rounds in an exhibition bout with fellow icon Roy Jones Jr, 53, in November 2020.

But Iron Mike later lost interest in a second fight to avoid hangers-on looking to profit from him.

Tyson still continues to upload training footage but it remains unknown when they were filmed.

The only fight the American appears interested in is against YouTuber-turned prizefighter Jake Paul, 25, who is 5-0.

The former heavyweight king talked about Paul and warned not to judge a book by its cover.

Tyson said on Bill Maher’s podcast: “I don’t even look at him the way, I can’t even say what they call him.

“Yeah, he’s a fighter. But they don’t want to credit him as being a fighter. Because he’s f***ing white with blue eyes and blonde hair.

“I don’t know, white people hate blue eyes and blonde hair, everybody wants to kill them.

“But he can fight. That’s his thing, everybody wants to kick his ass. Every nationality wants to kick his ass.

“He p***es everybody off. But he’s a great salesman, great, great salesman. He’s a great promoter and he doesn’t even know it.”
