Mike Tyson was a highlight in boxing back in his prime. Making his debut in 1985, Tyson quickly came into the limelight with his super-active fighting stint. Demolishing opponents with massive knockouts, Tyson became the scariest puncher in the sport. In no time, his fan base grew and many sports fanatics got to know who Tyson actually was.

Along with his boxing stint, one thing Tyson was known for was his exuberant life outside the ring. ‘Iron’ Mike always made it to the headlines with all of his activities. That said, a video surfaced on social media wherein Tyson can be seen confronting a sumo wrestler back when he was at his boxing peak.
