PHOENIX -- As former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson backed Corey Sanders into the ropes of the ring in Central Boxing Club during a workout last month, trainer Jeff Fenech stood in the corner, yelling: "Beautiful, Mike! Beautiful!"

Fenech, an Australian and former champion in three weight classes, is training Tyson for the first time in preparation for Saturday night's fight against Kevin McBride at MCI Center. Tyson, who turns 39 on June 30, spent the past two months training in Phoenix before arriving in the District on Friday night.

"We know what we have to do for this fight and we know what we have to do after this fight," Fenech said. "We've done more than enough for this fight. We'll have no excuses at all. What people will see is how much more patient and smarter Mike Tyson is now."

Tyson, once the most feared fighter in the world because of his power and ultra-fast hands, has lost two of his last three bouts. Tyson (50-5, 44 knockouts) was knocked out in the eighth round by heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis on June 8, 2002, his last opportunity to win a title. Tyson knocked out lightly regarded Clifford "Black Rhino" Etienne in 49 seconds on Feb. 22, 2003, but then was stunned by Danny Williams, who six months earlier had lost the British heavyweight title to Michael Sprott. Tyson tore ligaments in his left knee during the first round of his loss to Williams and underwent surgery shortly after the fight.

"He didn't beat me," Tyson said. "I broke my leg."

Fenech, 41, who earned the moniker "Marrickville Mauler" during his 12-year pro boxing career, has spent as much time restoring Tyson's confidence as improving the fighter's conditioning and footwork.

"My first goal was to make Mike happy and make Mike enjoy coming back here," Fenech said. "I wanted to make Mike want to come to the gym with us. Once I did that, everything fell into place. He has worked hard. Mike's enjoying what he's doing. He has lost nothing physically. He just lost a little bit of the invincibility and confidence factor."

Mike tyson need to let it go.

mike tyson is not worth another penny to watch..

who knows, perhaps he might pull a "cinderella man" in time to come :winkwink:

go tyson I hope he knocks him out the 1st round

go tyson go tyson :)

Tyson is cool... Him and Holyfield is the biggest stars ever (but completly different)
Have you seen holyfields house (or what you call it) god damm its big

how can you not watch that?

I love Tyson, but boxing is pretty bad now. You gotta try getting into the UFC and Pride FC.

Tyson is going to get that tattoo rearranged.

I think Tyson will lose. It's kind of sad that he needs to keep fighting like this. Just recently, i watched a few of his older fights from when he was in his prime. Amazing stuff.

Any links for the feeds already??? (for bookmark)

he is broke. he was bragging to my friend not too long ago about making and wasting 300,000,000.00 and he was wasting some of the last of his money flying his entourage to The Grand Wailea in Maui (where my friends were) before he was going to file bankrupcy.

Mike Tyson is a has been.. He wont last more then 3 rounds. I wouldn't pay a penny to watch him fight again... He's fucked me many times before with his bullshit antics.

I still want to see Mike inflicting pain on the ring!
If this will be one of your last fights man; then let it be remembered as Mike Tyson's patented fight!

:1orglaugh your stupid posts always crack me up.... idiot

They still let this fool (Tyson) in the ring?

If it goes beyond 4 rounds tyson loses.

by pay tv ;)

TYson is still the biggest draw in boxing. It's a shame but it's true.

I look forward to cashing in on this fight

Holy Shit!!!
Reality sets in...I saw Tyson fight when he was 19 yrs old(and I'm older then him)
I'm old and sad now; maybe I should get some sleep before I croak. :Oh crap

Tyson either gets Koed in the last rounds or he ko's the dude in the first few rounds

he can't cause he's broke.

happens tomorrow!

ok...Tyson in three

Poor Iron Mike, probably one of the few honest guys in heavyweight, wasted his family, life, career and future.

mike tyson is washed up :2 cents:
