Mike Tyson strips off to stop 'Jake The Snake' at AEW ahead of comeback

Mike Tyson has proved he still has the fear factor by making his presence known at All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

The former boxing heavyweight champion was present to award the new TNT Championship belt to Saturday night's champion.

He was ringside as the contest between Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer was in progress.

But fellow wrestler Jake 'The Snake' Roberts tried to make his presence felt and bought with him a sack that notoriously has a snake inside.

Tyson wasn't about to let him interfere however and stopped him in his tracks.

Iron Mike ripped his t-shirt off and Roberts quickly retreated.

Tyson's physique has been a talking point recently after he posted several videos of himself training.

The 53-year-old is preparing to return to the ring for an exhibition fight and has said he feels in great shape.

He told Lil Wayne on his Young Money Radio show: “I’m feeling better than I’ve ever felt in my life. God has been merciful to me man. I’m gonna get on with it, I’m looking good. Yo Wayne, I’m 230 [pounds] right now!

“Man I’m just getting ready you know, I’m just getting ready to help some people out who are less fortunate than me. I’m gonna do this charity event.

“I’m going to take this money and help these homeless and we’re going to help these addicted brothers.

“Because I’ve been homeless and I’ve been addicted so I know the struggle. Not many people have survived like I did.”

Former rival Evander Holyfield has been touted as a possible opponent with Tyson due to officially announce who will step into the ring with him next week.

Shannon Briggs is another name to be mentioned.
