Tyson later revealed that he is already doing cardiovascular exercise on a stationary bike and treadmill, light weight training and boxing training. “I’m getting in better shape,” he said. Tyson acknowledged that wearing his gloves “was difficult” because it “hurts” and his body is not in the same condition it was when he was at the world’s top. Nevertheless, he restated his desire to be in the form that will allow him to get back into the ring. “I want to do charity fights, raise money and help the homeless and drug addicts like me,” he said. Mike Tyson made his professional debut on March 6, 1985 in New York, when he defeated Hector Mercedes in the first round by knockout. He retired in 2006. He is considered to be one of the greatest boxers and the youngest heavyweight champion of all time.
