With just a little over three weeks until the return of the second half of "The Vampire Diaries" sixth season, it looks like Steven R. McQueen is getting ready for it by watching some Mike Tyson highlight videos.

Earlier today McQueen tweeted a video of Tyson's Knockout Collection from YouTube.

Fans of McQueen and "The Vampire Diaries" know that he is a pretty fit character in the show with his role as Jeremy Gilbert the now vampire hunter.

In fact, many may argue he is the most fit and active next to Michael Trevino who plays Tyler Lockwood in "The Vampire Diaries."

He also posts a few photos on his Instagram page as he goes through his workout regimen.

McQueen did express his enthusiasm to play a character such as Nightwing, which he was rumored to be considered for in yet another super hero spin off.

If he does indeed want to play the part of a super hero starting with a knockout compilation from one of the most prolific boxers in the history of the sport might be the way to get the proper training in for sure, though most of the Nightwing rumors have regressed into a thing of the past.

Ain't no rest for the wicked

Does this mean that he is training for a new super hero role? Chances are not at the moment, especially with his role heating up in The CW's "The Vampire Diaries.""The Vampire Diaries" to return on Thursday January 22 at 8 PM EST.
