Speaking on an Insta- gram Live with American rapper T.I., Tyson said: “I’ve been hitting the mitts for the last week.
“That’s been tough, my body is really jacked up and really sore from hitting the mitts.
“I’ve been working out, I’ve been trying to get in the ring, I think I’m going to box some exhibitions and get in shape.
“I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four-round exhi- bitions for some charities and stuff.
Jaguars Decline Fifth-Year Option On Leonard Fournette
LEONARD FOURNETTE
Unsurprisingly, we have more evidence that Leonard Fournette is not in the Jack- sonville Jaguars’ long-term plans.
As first reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jaguars will decline the fifth- year option on Fournette’s rookie deal. That will make him a free agent after the 2020 season.
The Jaguars have been try- ing hard to trade Fournette, but thus far have not found any takers. While the running back had a productive 2019, he’s still been somewhat un- derwhelming, and is clearly not viewed as a long-term op- tion in Jacksonville.
I do the bike and the tread- mill for an hour, then I do some light weights, 300, 250 reps.
“Then I start my day with the boxing thing, I go in there and hit the mits, 30 minutes, 25 minutes, start getting in better condition.
“I’m start to put those combinations together. I’m in pain, I feel like three guys kicked the s*** out of me.”
The reformed Baddest Man on the Planet has been using lockdown time to get in shape, as he wants to lace up the gloves once again.
According to The Associ- ated Press, the NBA superstar has organized a one-hour TV program for high school sen- iors who will miss out on their graduation ceremonies be- cause of the coronavirus.
“I wanted to help create a show that looked and felt very different from traditional spe- cials. Something that spoke to kids in a different way. These kids worked so hard to gradu- ate and what is happening to them is truly unfair,” James told The AP. “I hope we can give them and their families something cool that makes their accomplishment feel special.”

“Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020,” will be broadcast simultaneously on NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox on May 16. The program will also air on several other digital platforms, including TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and Complex Networks.

Michael Jordan Once Turned Down $100M For Two-Hour Appearance, Agent Says
MICHAEL JORDAN
Michael Jordan may have retired from the NBA, but he can still hold court — when he wants to.
The basketball legend once turned down a two- hour, $100 million appear- ance, according to his former agent.
"I brought him a deal three years ago for $100 mil- lion. And all he had to do was, other than giving his name and likeness, make a one, two-hour appearance to an- nounce the deal and he turned it down," David Falk said Wednesday morning on WFAN's radio show "Boomer and Gio."
Falk did not provide any details about the deal.
"And God bless him. He's been so successful, it gives him the opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn't want," Falk said. "I really ad- mire that. He's very, very se- lective in the things he wants to be involved in."
Jordan's net worth is $2.1 billion, according to Forbes.
"The Last Dance," a docu- mentary series that pre- miered last month and was produced by ESPN Films and Netflix, is a story on Jordan and the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls. The season culminated in the team's historic sixth and final NBA championship title in 1998.
