Boxing legend Mike Tyson showed he hasn't lost it in a training clip posted online.

The American icon, 56, was filmed hitting the pads and practising different combinations with his Brazilian coach Rafael Cordeiro at Kings MMA in Huntington Beach, California.

It seems Tyson is still keeping himself in fantastic shape despite insisting he will not be tempted out of retirement by the prospect of a mega-money exhibition bout against YouTube star Logan Paul.

The clip shows him watching closely as Cordeiro gives him some instructions before throwing his trademark hooks and uppercuts while bobbing and weaving in classic 'Iron Mike' style.

And it ends with Tyson looking over his shoulder at something offscreen as the video abruptly cuts off.

It was originally uploaded by Instagram user queenofquads.

ESPN's official Ringside Twitter account shared the footage and wrote: "Mike Tyson still moving fast at 55 years old."

The video has been watched over 123,000 times and received over 400 likes and 4,000 retweets at the time of writing.

The 55-year-old ring legend made an incredible return to the ring in November 2020 for an exhibition bout with fellow Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr.

Both men gave it their all as they rolled back the years to battle their way to a draw.

Tyson had been hoping to return to the squared circle last September for a rematch with British rival Lennox Lewis.

However, despite this, the Baddest Man on the Planet apparently has no interest in lacing his gloves up again anytime soon.

Speaking to Canadian YouTube group Nelk Boys on their Full Send podcast, he said: “You know something that’s interesting. I think it was Jake, the youngest one. I’m not even interested in doing this stuff.

“It was just fun at first. If it was back when I first started, yes, and we were both fighting on the same card and both active, yeah, we could do it. But it just turned … it just turned bad. It didn’t turn out right.

“Every, they say it’s 10, but it’s like every 12, or 13 months … boom, something’s missing.

“Like something’s missing. I give it to … boom, I’m losing muscle mass. Boom, it’s something.

“It’s always something different. And I don’t know, I’m just … guys want to fight me for 100 million bucks. I don’t think I’ll ever do stuff like that anymore.

“I wanted to do it the first time just for fun to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial, and then the fun went out of it.”
