TOOL's MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN Helped Train MIKE TYSON For His Upcoming Comeback Fight

Awesome.

MJK Tyson

Mike Tyson will return to the ring on July 20 to fight YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. And who better to get Tyson back in shape than renown vocalist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Maynard James Keenan?

Keenan posted on his Instagram about training with Tyson, noting that he and the folks at Verde Valley BJJ were where Tyson began getting in shape for the fight.

"Honored to have Mike Tyson grace our small town academy, Verde Valley BJJ," said Keenan. "His Training Camp for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson began under our roof. Gonna be bragging about that for a bit. Long after y'all are tired of hearing about it. Deal w it"

Tyson's fight is his first in 19 years. It's also a pretty funny juxtaposition between the instrument-wielding guys in Tool and Keenan – they're generally out there talking about writing new material and doing instrument-related interviews, while Keenan is quietly training Mike Tyson on how to kick someone's ass effectively again.
