Mike Tyson continues preparations for a historic comeback to the arena. As part of his attempts to overcome the fears, one of the greatest boxers of all time agreed to the Discovery Channel offer - to fight a shark, during the channel's traditional shark week.

Well, not really fighting, but yes staying with them ocean water. "Why am I doing this?" Tyson murmured. "What the hell am I doing? I'm so stupid I do it." When asked how he felt, underwater, he replied: "Afraid of fear of death."

It was the first round. In the second he had already come out of the cage and felt a little more comfortable, and in the third he even "paralyzed" one of the sharks.

This will happen this coming November, when Tyson enters the arena for the first time since 2005, for a showdown against Ray Jones Jr..
