Boxing News: Mike Tyson Training Hard for McBride
PHOENIX, Arizona (May 12, 2005) - Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson worked the slip bag, sparred and shadowboxed before cooling down after a spirited 90-minute training session Thursday at The Central Gym in Phoenix.
"I'm feeling good and the hard work is paying off. I can feel it," said Tyson, who makes his return to the ring against Kevin McBride June 11 on SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View.
"I have been training for almost two months and feel excited about where I am at. It's funny, but I am doing all the little things now in training that I should have done when I was younger. I am working much harder. I am planning to fight a lot in the next 12 months. Now is the time to make my move.''
Said trainer Jeff Fenech: "I am proud of the effort Mike's putting into the preparation for this fight. On June 11, the world is not going to see a new Mike Tyson, but the old one."
Tom Patti, Mike Tyson's assistant trainer, added: "I'm pleased to see Mike working as hard as he is, with such determination and enthusiasm."

"It Takes A Special Man"
"It takes a special man to lace them on and step into a ring to either hurt or be hurt. It's always been my opinion that the greatest fighters (not necessarily the most commercially successful) are probably born with that never give up until I'm completely done attitude. It can be nurtured over time, but you either have it or you don't. When adversity hits, and it will, this instinct will allow you to reach inside for additional strength and determination. Ali, Louis, Gatti, Corrales had it....Marquez and Pacquiao have it. De La Hoya, for all the great things he did as a boxer never had it, Tyson didn't have It, Cotto doesn't have it, and as much as I hate to admit it because I loved to watch him fight, Chavez didn't have it. 99.9% of us don't have it either. That's why we're not all fighters and we can sit here and judge these courageous men from the comfort of our computers."
