    He's training an English kid he's labelled the 'new Tyson'.

    From Wiki:

    --
    Kevin Rooney keeps training young boxers in Catskill, New York, at the same gym that he trained under Cus D'Amato. He is involved on a Comedy Central comedy show, "Punch Line", alongside Bert Randolph Sugar, former world Middleweight champion Vito Antuofermo and former world Middleweight and Super Middleweight champion Iran Barkley.

    As of 2010, Kevin is acting in a consultative capacity on a play written by Dianna Lefas about the life of Cus D'Amato, entitled "KNOCKOUT".

    I was speaking to his son not long ago and I asked how his father was doing and what he was up to. He said that he is still training fighters in Cus' gym and is doing very well.
