Mike Tyson: Footage re-emerges of 'Iron Mike' teaching Henry Cejudo his iconic uppercut

Mike Tyson at the age of 53 once taught Henry Cejudo the secrets behind his iconic uppercut in training.

The boxing legend had teamed up with Rafael Cordeiro at Kings MMA in California, a few weeks after agreeing to face Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition bout under the Triller Fight Club umbrella.

Cejudo, meanwhile, had recently announced his retirement from mixed martial arts after controversially stopping Dominick Cruz in the second round of the co-main event of UFC 249 in May 2020.

The pair had first met whilst recording an episode of Iron Mike’s ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’ podcast and have since remained close friends with Cejudo occasionally serving as a co-host every now and then.

In leaked training footage which has since resurfaced online, the Baddest Man on The Planet took some time out of his day to teach the self-styled ‘King of Cringe’ a thing or two.

In the clip, Tyson can be seen giving Cejudo step-by-step instructions on how to throw the perfect uppercut.

The 55-year-old urges his fellow American to keep his head tucked in as he throws the punches to the body.
