Most of the "recent" training footage out there is from the roy jones camp years ago.. evident by the lack of chest tattoo.
Exclusive: Mike Tyson's Trainer Rafael Cordeiro on Jake Paul
Mike Tyson's trainer, legendary striking coach Rafael Cordeiro, talks exclusively with Sherdog's Marcelo Alonso about his charge's upcoming battle against Jake Paul.www.sherdog.com
Mike hooked up with Cordeiro when he boxed Roy in that exhibition a while back. That's all I know. I'm just wondering why Mike chose him in the first place. To my knowledge he's only ever trained MMA, Muay Thai fighters, and kickboxers over at Chute Boxe Academy (which he's no longer at) & Kings MMA. Not boxers.Pretty interesting, what is Mikes relationship with Rafael Cordeiro?
^^^ My thoughts exactly.Mike is still with Rafael Cordeiro? Hmm. I know he trained him for the Roy fight, even though it was just an exhibition, but the pairing was always a bit odd to me. I'm not aware of Cordeiro having trained any boxers prior to Mike. He's a legendary coach in his domain but he's always trained Muay Thai & MMA fighters.
