Boxing legend Mike Tyson was an anomaly the boxing world had never seen before. Despite standing at just 5’10”, the former champion faced opponents much taller than him. However, Tyson made up for his short height and even used it to his advantage, with pinpoint accuracy. The real reason behind his remarkable success lay in a strict and grueling workout routine that pushed him to his limits. Even today, his iconic workouts continue to inspire fitness enthusiasts and athletes across the globe.
Tyson perfected the peek-a-boo style under Cus D’ Amato who also instilled discipline in him. Moreover, his commitment to boxing was evident in every fight he entered which often ended within the first few rounds. This is the reason why his iconic workouts have become a symbol of dedication for many across the world. In addition, many have come and tried to mimic his workouts to attain the same strength as the former champion.
