Mike Tyson channeled his inner youngster in his latest training video, wearing a T-shirt with photos of himself in his heyday.
The shirt featured three pictures of Tyson from different stages of his career.
The 54-year-old is set to begin the next chapter of his career on November 28 when he takes on the veteran Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition match in California.
Last week, Tyson said his training in a video released earlier this year left him in so much pain that he was in bed for a week.

Mike Tyson channeled his inner youngster in his latest training video ahead of his much anticipated comeback, wearing a shirt with photos of himself in his heyday.
Tyson, 54, is set to fight the veteran Roy Jones Jr., 51, on November 28 in an eight-round exhibition match in California. Tyson has been teasing fans with regular clips of himself getting prepared.
In his latest clip, posted on Tuesday, Tyson again showcased his blistering hand speed and brute power on the pads, all while wearing a T-shirt with pictures of himself.
"Getting in shape and getting conditioned are two different animals," he said on the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast last week. "They don't even belong in the same division of working out."
He said that while being in shape is being "able to fit your clothes," being conditioned "is being able to come outside of your soul."
"You can't do that automatically," he said, adding, "The emotional state to prepare for that is mind-boggling."
He said of the first training video, "I did that video, and I was in bed for a week."
"That was 30 seconds, and I was in bed for a week," he said. "And it's not funny, because it made me realize that this is big-boy s---."
