Although he has not revealed many details of his sports routine, the boxing icon has posted several videos about his training details through his social networks. Some of the disciplines we can see him practicing are:
- Boxing routine: Tyson is known for his intense and disciplined training style. His routine includes daily sparring sessions, where he works on his technique and speed. Despite his age, Tyson remains a formidable boxer, and his focus on technical work is key to maintaining his agility and precision.
- Strength training: To prepare for a fight, Tyson incorporates weightlifting and functional training exercises. This not only helps him develop explosive strength, but also improves his overall endurance. Exercises such as squats, bench presses and deadlifts are common in this type of preparation.
- Cardio: Cardiovascular endurance is crucial in boxing. Tyson performs aerobic exercises such as running, jumping rope and circuit training to keep his heart strong and improve his lung capacity. This allows him to stay active during the rounds of the fight.
Tyson’s diet and its variations
In 2010, the famous boxer decided to embark on a plant-based diet. He went vegan, something that he made public on several occasions, helped him to get away from the disorderly and careless life he was leading at the time.
However, ten years later, he decided to reintroduce meat into his diet. One of the types of meat he has incorporated is wild game such as elk or bison. According to him, this type of meat makes him feel stronger. In addition, Tyson detailed that his wife eats raw meat but that he would never do so. We will soon see if this consumption of meat, coupled with his physical preparation, leads him to victory against Logan Paul, 20 years after his last official fight.
