(CNN) – Iron Mike is back.
In a pair of training videos posted on his Instagram page, Mike Tyson, 53, showed his agility and power by hitting the pads with a coach.
“I’m back,” says Tyson, sporting a gray beard, at the end of the video.
“It may not be over yet,” Tyson said in a Facebook live broadcast. “Everything is possible. I feel unstoppable now. The gods of war have awakened me again, they have ignited my ego and they want me to return to war. I feel that I am [young] again.”
The former world heavyweight boxing champion is training again with plans to return to the ring to raise money for charities.
“I’ve been exercising, I’ve been trying to get in the ring, I think I’m going to do some expositions and get in shape,” Tyson said during a conversation with rapper T.I. On Instagram. “I want to go to the gym and get in shape so I can put on three or four round exhibits for some charities and whatnot.”
Once known as “the baddest man on the planet,” Tyson looks as fast and fierce as he was in his prime. At his best, Tyson was arguably the most intimidating heavyweight boxer to climb into a ring, with 44 of his 50 knockout wins.
Tyson’s last professional fight came in 2005 in a loss to Kevin McBride.
Iron Mike was undefeated in 1990 when he lost the heavyweight championship to Buster Douglas, in one of the biggest surprises in the history of the sport.
