Mike Tyson gets back in the ring for his new TV show five years after retiring
March 15th, 2011 - 5:59 pm ICT by ANILondon, Mar 15 (ANI): Former heavyweight boxing champ Mike Tyson went back in the ring for one last time as part of his new documentary, ‘Taking On Tyson’.
During the show, which aired for the first time on the Animal Planet network, Tyson showed cameras around the gym where he once trained. Despite showing off lightning speed as he lashed out a few punches at a heavy bag, the star insisted he has no regrets staying away from the ring.
“Isn’t it crazy, I used to do this stuff,” the Daily Mail quoted the 44-year-old star as saying as he climbed under the ropes at his old gym.
“I have no desire to ever think about going back to boxing - I don’t miss boxing. I think the best moment of my life was when I retired. This is a part of me that I just don’t like and don’t understand,” he added.
His show concentrates on the former champion’s love for pigeons. (ANI)
