53-Year-Old Mike Tyson Shows Frightening Speed And Boxing Skills As He Spars With His Dog

Boxing legend Mike Tyson rolled back the years as he showcased his legendary skills in a hilarious sparring session with his dog.

The 53-year-old lived up to his moniker as the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' during his heyday as he carved through the division to become the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title.

And Tyson showed that age is only a number by taking on his dog, Mars Tyson, while in quarantine amid the coronavirus outbreak.

'Iron' Mike, who uploaded the clips to Instagram, bounced around on the spot at frightening speed as he pulled out his signature 'peek-a-boo' technique.

Mars looked like he was ready to fight back against the former undisputed world heavyweight champ, only to scurry away from the sparring session.

Fans hilariously shared their sympathy for the dog and understood why Mars decided to opt out of a playful fight with 'Baddest Man on the Planet.'

One fan posted: "I do that with my dog but my dog don't back off and give that look like 'this man is a killer.'"

While Instagram user callumm_1502 wrote: "Don't blame the dog I'll s**t myself too."

A third fan said: "Champ still got that movement."

And user infinite.zion added: "Damb [sic] still moving like you in your prime."

Tyson went viral last year when a clip showed him turning into a prime 'Iron' Mike as he effortlessly showed his 'peek-a-boo' technique.

And rap icon Eminem told the boxing legend that he could still "f**k up anybody" after he watched the viral clip.
