Video re-emerges of Mike Tyson 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.

“He’s probably going to fight in Florida.

“We don’t know yet, I’m not 100 per cent sure who is going to be the next opponent.

“We have some names like Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, guys like that.

“But most importantly he’s still in shape, he’s still working hard.
