Former world champion Mike Tyson is one of the most eccentric boxers of all time. ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ recently joined hands with talk show host Jimmy Kimmel to surprise his fans.

Tyson collaborated with Kimmel for a segment called ‘Mike Tyson is Right Behind You’. The format of the segment was such that participants were asked to share their thoughts on Tyson. Meanwhile, without them knowing, Tyson would be standing right beside them. In fact, the segment even paved for some hysterical answers about Tyson.

One of the participants was asked where he would place Tyson on a list of the greatest athletes of all time. In response, he said, “He’s my favorite boxer of all time. But, he’s probably around…”

But when he notices Tyson standing next to him, he hilariously places Tyson in the first spot. Notably, the same individual had previously placed NBA legend Michael Jordan in the first place.

Similarly, another person initially called Tyson’s tattoos ugly but was at a loss for words after noticing Tyson. Meanwhile, one of the fans even showed the respect that he had for the champ. He said, “I think he’s great. I love to see his transition into this second life that he’s got.”
