NEW YORK – Former heavyweight king Mike Tyson said Monday (Tuesday in Manila) his decision to step back into the ring at the age of 57 was a 'no-brainer,' brushing off recent criticism that he was too old to make a comeback.

At a press conference in New York to promote his upcoming bout against YouTuber-turned-fighter Jake Paul, Tyson admitted training for his return had taken a toll.
