Mike Tyson didn’t look like a boxer who hadn’t fought in 15 years in the Twitter video he posted on Friday.
Of course, this was a strategic clip; it was just five seconds long. Tyson is 53, and no one, not even George Foreman, can completely defy age. Plus, Tyson was promoting the “Bad Boys for Life” movie that’s now available on Blu-Ray.
