THERE could be another “Iron Mike” set to enter the boxing scene.
Once feared as the most terrifying heavyweight boxer ever, Mike Tyson’s son Miguel looks to be a chip off the old block.
The celebrated puncher uploaded a clip onto his Instagram story in 2018, where he put his son, who was 15 at the time, through his paces.
He used the hash-tag “family workout session” and tagged in his pride and joy.
Miguel looked like an Iron Mike 2.0, firing sharp, rasping punches as he worked the pads.
Since the throwback footage, Tyson incredibly made his own comeback – 15 years after retiring following two dismal defeats.
The heavyweight legend returned to the ring in November, and did so with massive pay-per-view success.
Tyson, 54, boxed fellow icon Roy Jones Jr, 51, with the fight ending a draw after eight exhibition rounds.
Iron Mike confirmed afterwards that he will lace up the gloves as soon as possible, and even called for a rematch.
And it appears he is wasting no time in preparing for his next fight after video revealed Tyson hitting the pads with trainer Rafael Cordeiro in a recent training session.

He said after fighting Jones: “I could’ve done everything better.
“Everything I was doing I could’ve done it better, so God willing, I’ll be better the next exhibition.”
