In a video released by Rafael himself, the coach once again showcases the great physical shape of the former world boxing champion in the heavyweight division who, at 54 years old, is preparing to return to the ring. After a sequence of punches, Tyson ends the combination with a cross that touches the trainer's face.

The video stops shortly after Mike's unintentional action. So, it is not possible to know whether Cordeiro went to the canvas. Known as one of the greatest MMA trainers in the world, Rafael enthusiastically embraced the precision of the 'Iron Man'.

Tyson has a confirmed commitment to face veteran Roy Jones Jr. The athletes will have an exhibition fight that will take place on November 28, in the United States. The fight will mark Mike's return to the ring after more than 15 years away from the sport.
