Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at just 20 years of age when he stopped Trevor Berbick for the title.
He went on to record 44 knockouts in 50 wins.
Tyson recently announced plans on making a stunning comeback to boxing and his trainer candidly claimed the former champ would knock out Deontay Wilder in a fight if he had six-weeks of training.
But boxing community, including champs Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury can rest easy as Tyson said the training is for a four-round charity exhibition fight.
"I've been hitting the mitts for the last week,” Tyson told rapper T.I. on Instagram Live.
"That's been tough, my body is really jacked up and really sore from hitting the mitts.
"I've been working out, I've been trying to get in the ring, I think I'm going to box some exhibitions and get in shape.
"I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.”
