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."

Not Hip To The Hype
"Haye has said that without the hype, boxing is boring. This tells you something about him as a fighter and as a man. And maybe something about his low expectations of his own value as a fighter. Why isn't his skill good enough? Which audience is he trying to impress? When I watch fights, I watch the contest, the skill, the drama, the match-up. Screw the circus hype."---TSS reader Mortcola, giving thumbs down on David Haye and his pre-fight antics
