AJ beat Andy Ruiz Jr at 237lbs in December having lost 10lb after being criticised for carrying too much bulk.

During his prestigious career, Tyson was at his best around the 220lb mark and the American claims to be back at that weight.

He told FightHype: “We’ve just been training, boxing, and it feels great man.

“I come from 289lbs to 220lbs.

“And I feel good.”

Tyson has been in great shape recently during a handful of public appearances, including a photo shoot on a beach.

After turning 54 last month, speculation is rife over who exactly the former champion will face should he step back into the ring.
