"Anything is possible when you are smart about it. Train Smart. Recover Smarter," Tyson wrote as the caption.

In the video, the 53-year-old is going through an intense workout session and the ace boxer displayed ruthless power which made him one of the most memorable boxers.

Tyson, who became the youngest heavyweight champion of all time when he defeated Trevor Berbick in 1986 aged 20, won 50 of his 58 professional fights.

He had called time on his career after a loss to Kevin McBride in 2005.

If the boxer returns to the ring, then he will join the likes of Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao to come out of retirement for an exhibition match.

Also, New Zealand rugby player Sonny Bill Williams, Australian former NRL player Paul Gallen and Evander Holyfield could be one of his potential opponents.

Tyson has already stated that he is considering coming out of retirement to take part in exhibition matches to raise money for some charity.
