See it: Mike Tyson clips his trainer during mitt session
Train Mike Tyson at your own risk.
“Iron Mike” has posted a number videos of him training ahead of his exhibition with Roy Jones Jr. on Nov. 28. The latest (see below) gives you an idea of how dangerous sharing the ring with him can be. Even at 54.
Tyson was hitting mitts with trainer Rafael Cordeiro when an errant right hand appears to clip Cordeiro, whose head spun halfway around. That’s where the video ends.
The public has marveled at Tyson’s speed and ferocity at his age, although there’s a big difference between training and an actual fight.
Cordeiro, a brave man, learned first hand that Tyson has something left at 50-something.
Tyson and Jones, 51, are scheduled to fight at Dignity Health Sports Park (formerly StubHub Center) in Carson, Calif., on pay-per-view.
