Boxing great Mike Tyson is serious about his comeback to the ring.
The 53-year-old American legend last fought professionally in 2005 and after giving many interviews over the past few years about wanting to move away from the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' persona, looks hungry to wear his gloves once again.
Earlier this month, Tyson posted a video of an intense workout and hinted at a potential return by saying "I am back" to the camera.
The boxing world went into meltdown after seeing the champion fighter bobbing, weaving, and pounding the pads with ferocious hooks and uppercuts.
Over the weekend, another video of Tyson emerged which showed him working out with MMA legend Vitor Belfort.
In the video, Belfort can be seen giving a few tips to Tyson, who looks in incredible shape even at the age of 53.
There have been reports that Tyson could take part in an exhibition contest against old foe Evander Holyfield or rugby star Sonny Bill Williams, who once held the New Zealand heavyweight championship.
However, not everyone is looking forward to the return. Dillian Whyte had cautioned Tyson and Holyfield against making professional returns to the ring, warning the former world heavyweight champions could face serious injury.
Whyte told the Press Association: "If they want to do something for charity in an exhibition match, that's fine. But as long as they keep it like that and don't try to get back in the professional ring.
"Because what it does, it diminishes all of their hard work they've done over the years. It's like 'you're in your fifties now, just relax, enjoy your success and enjoy your retirement'. They might get hurt, you know?"

Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
