Sorry, Mike Tyson Punch Video Is Several Years Old

EXCLUSIVE

Sorry to be the spoiler, but that awesome video of Mike Tyson teaching some guys how to throw a ferocious punch combination at a bar ain’t new. 

In fact, it was shot YEARS ago — and it was all for a movie that’s already been released.

Several major media outlets ran with the video as brand new footage of a 52-year-old Tyson looking like a beast. He does look great, but he sure as hell wasn’t 52 when this was shot. 

Look, it’s still amazing footage — but a rep for Tyson tells us Mike was only throwing those combos as part of his role in the 2017 action flick “China Salesman” … which also stars Steven Seagal. 

Mike’s rep doesn’t recall the exact date the footage was shot but production wrapped up in August 2016 — so, it was obviously before that date. 

The big clue … in the clip, Mike is wearing his costume from the movie. 

Plus, 52-year-old Tyson recently appeared on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast and said that he’s stopped weightlifting and fight training altogether — and hasn’t in years — because it “reactivates my ego” and makes him feel violent. 

Instead, we’re told Tyson ONLY focuses on cardio training — with the goal to stay healthy (not dangerous) for his new podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” … a weed-inspired show. 

Of course, it’s a natural transition for Tyson, who recently got into the pot business — and plans to open his own marijuana ranch to the public later this year.
