Mike Tyson appeared to almost knock his trainer clean out with a series of ferocious punches in his latest training video ahead of his comeback fight against Roy Jones Jr.
Tyson, 54, and Jones, 51, are set to go head-to-head in an eight-round exhibition in California on November 28.
Ahead of the bout, "Iron Mike" has been teasing fans with clips of himself getting prepared with his trainer Rafael Cordeiro.
In the latest clip, which Tyson shared on his Instagram story, the Brazilian coach almost got more than he bargained for as Tyson narrowly missed his face with numerous blows.
Cordeiro was clearly taken aback by the fury of Tyson's punches, looking shocked and ducking his head out of the way.

Tyson's training videos have prompted several former boxers to express worry about Jones' safety in the upcoming fight.
Commenting on the most recent video, the WBO junior lightweight champion Jamel Herring said, "Somebody send Mike a reminder, that this is an exhibition."
Danny Williams, the last boxer to knock Tyson out before his retirement, also recently predicted that Jones would "get seriously hurt" by Tyson.
Even Jones himself seems worried, saying earlier this week that he may have "made a mistake" by agreeing to the fight because Tyson is "the bigger" and more "explosive guy."
