2020-05-15
Recently, the UK's The Sun website unveiled a video call between legendary boxer Mike Tyson and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. In the clip, heavyweight boxing icon Mike Tyson revealed that he hasn’t stepped into the ring for 15 years—but is now back in training, thanks in part to stem-cell therapy. After retiring from professional boxing in 2005 following his defeat by Kevin McBride, "the baddest man on the planet" has been plotting a dramatic comeback later this year. While Tyson didn’t elaborate on why he chose to undergo the treatment, he jokingly added that it was "the craziest thing scientists could possibly do."
During a chat with basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal, Tyson revealed that after 15 years away from the boxing ring, he’s been training relentlessly for nearly three days—and it’s all part of his new health regimen. "You know what I’ve been up to?" Tyson said. "I’ve undergone stem-cell therapy. It’s like I’ve become a whole new person, but I can’t quite put my finger on why I feel this way. It’s absolutely mind-blowing what scientists are capable of these days."
Tyson, who recently resumed training, revealed during a conversation with basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal that, after stepping away from professional boxing for 15 years, he’s now following an updated—and even more ambitious—health regimen as part of his comeback. He shared that he’s already undergone stem-cell therapy and feels completely transformed, describing it as a sensation unlike anything he’s ever experienced before. Reflecting on this remarkable progress, Tyson couldn’t help but marvel at how far science has come, noting that it’s pushing the boundaries of what was once thought possible—even making dreams that seemed impossible suddenly within reach.
Although he’s been away from the boxing ring for a long time, recent footage of Tyson in training vividly showcases his undiminished prowess. At 53, Tyson still boasts his iconic speed and incredible strength, reigniting fans’ excitement about a potential comeback. Now, Tyson has a new trainer who’s helping him shed the significant weight he gained due to past struggles with addiction and depression—thanks to a healthier, rehab-focused approach—so he can meet the standards required for participating in a charity boxing match.
During their exchange, the two sports icons revealed that after playing basketball with his son, Shaquille O'Neal experienced prolonged muscle soreness—quite different from what he felt before retiring. In response, Mike Tyson shared that this was mainly due to his extended break from training; however, he emphasized that sticking with it would eventually lead to a full recovery, allowing him to regain his former strength and dominance. He admitted that even after just a few days of training following 15 years of inactivity, he already noticed a significant improvement—and firmly believes that consistent effort will help him reclaim his legendary form once again.
