Mike Tyson has revealed he has been training with view to making a return to the ring in some boxing exhibitions.
The former undisputed world heavyweight champion has not fought professionally since retiring after the sixth round of his bout with Kevin McBride in 2005.
Tyson’s troubles with drug addiction have been well documented since, but the 53-year-old is now eyeing a comeback in aid of charity.
And speaking to rapper T.I. on Instagram Live, Tyson said he had already been doing some pad work alongside some intense sessions in the gym.

“I’ve been hitting the mitt for the last two weeks,” he said. “That’s been tough. My body is really jacked up, really sore from hitting the mitt.
“But I’ve been working out, Ive been trying to get some boxing exhibitions. I’m gonna get in shape so I can box some three or four round exhibitions for some charities.
“I’d like to do some charity exhibitions get some money to help the homeless or some drug-affected m***** f******, you know, like me.”
Iron Mike is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, and there is little doubt he would draw a crowd if he were to lace up the gloves again.
He continued: “I do about two hours on cardio, I do the bike and I do the treadmill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 250-300 reps.

Tyson could be seen holding a cigarette of some sort on the Instagram video.
He now dedicates much of his time to running his own Cannabis farm.
When quizzed if he had got his timing back, Tyson replied: “No way, but I’m starting to put the combinations together. But my body’s in pain, I feel like three guys kicked the s*** out of me.”
