Mike Tyson back in training for MMA?

October 20th, 2008 by mikeirontyson

A  very reputable Mixed Martial Arts news site, Sherdog.com is reporting that Mike Tyson is in some serious training, in which the former boxer is training his butt off with a respected strength and conditioning coach.
Sherdog quotes a source, who wishes to stay anonymous, that Tyson has been privately “training his ass off,” the source went on to add that Tyson will not be doing boxing anymore.
The source was then asked if Tyson was in training to take a stab at MMA? The source would only tell Sherdog, “I don’t know, I can’t say.” Although Mike may never compete in any sort of combat sports we all agree that he needs to get into shape again.
Tyson is such a vain character that it just doesn’t suit him to be out of shape. His weight had ballooned to more than 20 stone, more than 5 stone over his fighting weight and it showed clearly at the recent cannes film festival where he was making an appearance at a showing of the new James Toback’s documentary “Tyson.”

Whatever the reasons may be, it can only be a positive thing is Mike is back in the gym. Any further news or pictures we get will be up on here.
