At the age of 54, boxing icon Mike Tyson is making a return to the sport he dominated for nearly two decades. According to Iron Mike, the determination of a 49ers legend helped inspire him to complete his comeback.
“I was watching this insight about Jerry Rice and at his age, he’s amazingly fast and can still perform,” Tyson said during ESPN's "First Take" on Thursday (H/T 247Sports). “I’m saying, ‘Why can’t he and another five, six people play another quarterback and his five, six people? Why can’t we have a game of legends playing?’”
Rice's tireless work ethic has kept the 57-year-old in great shape, even though he retired from the NFL officially 14 years ago.
