Mike Tyson dresses up as bee for TV appearance in bizarre footage

Mike Tyson since his retirement has shown that even the hardest of men can have a soft side to them.

In a recent video posted on social media, the former heavyweight champion donned a bee costume for his appearance on popular late night chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live which left his fans in hysterics

In the video, Tyson proclaims how appreciative of the suit he is and that he could quite possibly feel ‘bee-autiful.’

“I’m feeling beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,” he sang as he gleefully danced around in what appears to be his new favourite outfit of choice.

The video, which was only posted a matter of hours ago, is only 28-thousand likes away from reaching the one million mark and means his adoring fans are clearly enjoying seeing this side.

Ever since ‘Iron Mike’ retired from boxing in 2005, he has been able to exhibit his true self and show his personality with outlets such as his podcast, movie cameos (remember that Hangover one?), TV appearances and social media content.

In his prime, the 55-year-old was one of the most dangerous punchers in boxing history and was definitely one of the most feared fighters on this planet.

Tyson rose to fame at 20 years old, as he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history but was in his pomp during the late 1980s and 1990s.

In this period he picked up wins against some of the very best, including the likes of Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Frank Bruno and Julius Francis, the latter of whom knocking out an aggressively antisocial pub goer working as a security guard this week.

Tyson was undoubtedly one of the baddest men to ever step foot into a ring, but his ability to play mind games with his opponents on the microphone was second to none.
