Mike Tyson walks up behind people talking about him and it’s gold

Would you give your honest opinion about Mike Tyson to the boxing legend’s face?

A group of people had the opportunity to do just that this week during a brilliant segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Members of the public were asked to give their thoughts about Tyson, unaware that the man himself was listening to the conversation.

Iron Mike then emerged from a door and gave each person a huge shock after walking up behind them.

The public were asked various questions, including:

• Who are the greatest athletes of all time?

• Who would win a fight between Conor McGregor and Mike Tyson?

• What do you think of Mike Tyson?

• Do you think you in your prime could go in the ring with Mike Tyson now?

• What do you think about Mike Tyson’s face tattoo?

One man described Tyson as “kind of crazy”, to which the former heavyweight champion said backstage: “He’s lucky I’m a peaceful man”.

He was given the shock of his life when Tyson suddenly appeared next to him.

Another guy said he’d “give it a go” when asked if he’d take on a 55-year-old Tyson.
