Mike Tyson releases brutal footage of sparring session as Baddest Man on the Planet ramps up ring comeback bid

IT might not be sage to fight at his age, but Mike Tyson still looks the baddest and not the saddest.

The former unified world heavyweight champion, 54, edged closer to a comeback fight against possibly Evander Holyfield or Shannon Briggs with an even faster exhibition of his ferocious style.

Head down and coming forward, Mike Tyson suggested his style will not change, even if the era has

Legend Tyson appears well above spar in the latest video clip he has released after 15 years out of the ring.

This time Iron Mike focuses on his famous, swaying, head-down movement as he pummels both a punchbag and a sparring partner.
