Mike Tyson is not just a boxing legend who once ruled the ring. He is a phenomenal entertainer, a very successful entrepreneur, and a budding fashion icon if we go by one of his recent appearances. While the boxer is synonymous with printed shirts that never fail to make a statement, he recently took things to the next level with a bold outfit.

Amidst reports of his offer to train Francis Ngannou for the latter’s upcoming bout on 29th October, the former heavyweight champion has yet again broken the internet. He did it by doing something unrelated to his sport, his podcast, or anything normally associated with ‘Iron Mike.’ It is his new bubblegum core outfit that has fans talking. This is what makes him so special, right? He still has the ability to surprise fans.
