Boxing legend Mike Tyson's decision to come out of retirement after 15 long years has gotten hardcore boxing fans excited.

Mike Tyson has already started his intense training regimen in order to get back in shape in time for his boxing return.

"It's just like me, I haven't boxed or hit the bag for 15 years - it has been three days so far and I feel incredible."
