Fans convinced Mike Tyson can be world champion again at 53 after watching EXPLOSIVE new training video – The Sun

FANS are convinced Mike Tyson can be a world champion again at the age of 53 after watching his EXPLOSIVE new training video.

The American boxing legend has been back in training lately as he prepares to get back into the ring.

On Monday night, Iron Mike declared, "I'm back", as he showed off his ferocious speed and power.

The clip has already been watched 5.7million times in less than 24 hours.

And after his latest explosive video, fans reckon he could beat Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury to become heavyweight champion of the world once more.

Before the new clip of him in action was shared, just 39 per cent of 30,000 voters believed Tyson could be crowned world champ.

On the other hand, 45 per cent reckoned he had no chance against the likes of AJ and Fury – the current holders of the heavyweight belts – with 16 per cent on the fence.

Can Mike Tyson become heavyweight world champion again?

BEFORE THE VIDEO

NO – 45%

YES – 39%

UNSURE – 16%

AFTER THE VIDEO

YES – 44%

NO – 43%

UNSURE – 13%

But since the latest video was released the fan opinion changed drastically.

Now, 44 per cent of boxing fans believe Tyson CAN become the heavyweight champion of the world again.

A further 43 per cent reckon he will be held back by his age, while 13 per cent are unsure.

Tyson, who last fought professionally 15 years ago, has been stepping up his training in recent weeks.

He has received numerous big-money offers – including from former rugby star Sonny Bill Williams and Tyson Fury's dad John – but will only entertain more serious offers.

As SunSport revealed over the weekend, Tyson is only willing to step into the ring with a "bona fide" opponent as he doesn't want to disrespect the sport he loves.

A source said: "Mike has ruled out the prospect of the exhibition bout in Australia because he does not want to fight a cross-over athlete.

"If Mike returns to boxing, it will only be to fight another bona fide boxer.

"Mike believes anything else would be an insult to the sport."

A trilogy match with fellow retiree Evander Holyfield, 57, is certainly gaining traction with Tyson's rival set to make his own comeback for charity.
