Ahead of his return to the ring next month in a controversial pairing with Jake Paul, boxing star, Mike Tyson has been described as the “strongest” he has been since his teens by Gene Kilroy, a former manager of the late former world heavyweight boxing champion, Muhammad Ali.

Tyson, a former undisputed heavyweight world champion boxer himself, is slated to return to action next month in a professional boxing clash with Ohio native, Paul — snapping a lengthy retirement dating all the way back to 2006.
