In a stunning  development, former world heavyweight champion and boxing legend Mike Tyson is eyeing a comeback into the sport at the age of 53. 


Tyson, who has had a great reign before being mired in various controversies, retired from the sport in 2005 and has since made several promotional appearances in MMA and WWE events.


However, this is the first time that Tyson has been training  hard and looking to make a re-entry into the ring that he once ruled. Tyson has been posting several clips lately showing him training hard and looking at his fierce best.


According to people close to him, Tyson is initially  keen to fight in a few charity bouts but has his eyes set on making a professional reentry as well. Doctors and his promoters, however are a worried lot given his age and slowing reflexes.


Tyson, has so far not given an official date for his possible return but did hint in the latest video that 'he's back'.


How soon? How long?  It's for all of us to see.
