Mike Tyson reveals he FIRES sparring partners if they don’t ‘kick my ass’ ahead of Roy Jones Jr fight

MIKE TYSON has revealed he FIRES sparring partners if they don’t ‘kick his ass’ in training.

The boxing legend will fight Roy Jones Jr on November 28 in an exhibition bout in the US.

Mike Tyson is counting down the days until he makes a stunning boxing return

And after a stunning body transformation, ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ can’t wait to lace up the gloves again.

Tyson has shared numerous photos and videos to his social media accounts showing his ripped physique and brutal training sessions.

And now he has revealed just how hard he wants to be pushed to prepare for his grand comeback.

As reported by Boxing Scene, the 54-year-old said: “I’m the only boss; if you don’t kick my ass, you’re fired.

“That’s how sparring is going. Everyone’s doing their best and if you’re not doing your best to hit me, you have to go home. That’s what fighting is all about.

“I’m paying a guy to kick my ass, if he doesn’t kick my ass, he has to go, he’s fired.”

Tyson returns to the ring for the first time in 15 years when he faces Jones, 51, in an eight-round exhibition.

The heavyweight icon has spent his comeback with MMA coach Rafael Cordeiro, where he has dramatically transformed his body.

Tyson’s decision to fight again has inspired other retired legends to do the same.

Oscar De La Hoya, now a promoter, is among those, but instead wants to lace up the gloves as a professional again, opposed to in exhibitions.

In the latest clip Tyson shared on Instagram, he once again showed off his ferocious speed and power.

Fans were left hailing Tyson in the comments, as one said: “Beast mode.”

Another said: “He still got it! Champ!”
