An Australian man was given a hell of a scare as he was fooled into screaming out Mike Tyson just as the boxer himself emerged behind him. The man was given the fright of his life.
Even though Iron Mike is 56 years old, he hasn’t lost any of the terrifying reputation that he earned during his time as a heavyweight boxer. You certainly wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of him now.
As a result of this, the staff members at Jimmy Kimmel Live came up with the brilliant concept of enticing members of the general public into bad-mouthing the powerful man while her waited in the shadows, ready to pounce.
The host of the talk show added, “We thought it would be great to ask people strolling by our theater what they think about him without them knowing that while they are talking, Mike Tyson is just behind them,” and it was entertaining.
The interviewer asks a bald man who bears a passing resemblance to the boxer Butterbean whether he would walk into the ring with Mike Tyson at one point in the program. The bald man has a passing similarity to the boxer Butterbean.
He responded in a nonchalant manner, “Yeah, I’d give it a go,” as if he didn’t consider this to be a want to die.
While this was going on, Mike Tyson strutted his way up next to Butterbean, and the interviewer announced, “OK, here we are, let’s do this: Butterbean vs. Mike Tyson.”
After that, Tyson extended his hand and asked, “How you doin’ brother?” The other man could only react with an expletive, which is understandable given the circumstances.
After that, they engaged in a little bit of shadow boxing, during which the older gentleman was probably very appreciative of the fact that their little boxing match took place in the shadows.
However, things could have turned out far worse for Butterbean if he had referred to the tattoo on Tyson’s face as “f***ing ugly.”
Another participant in the section experienced the same thing, and he was duped in a significant way as a result.
In response to the interviewer’s questions: “In response to the question, “What do you think about the tattoo that Mike Tyson has on his face?,” he said, “I think it’s f*****g ugly. To clarify, I mean that I believe his face has a more natural appearance without it.”
The scene then shifted to Tyson, who was seen waiting in an adjacent room and could be heard using an expletive. The camera followed him as he spoke.
The man went on to say that it appeared as though someone had severely struck him in the face.
After that, the question of whether or not he would ever acquire a tribal face tattoo like Tyson’s was posed to him as Tyson approached him from behind.
The young man responded, “No dude,” just as Tyson, who was now standing next to him, cracked a joke by saying, “I hope somebody would smack me in the face.”
A little shaken up, you could almost make out his heart beating faster than normal.
So keep this in mind, folks: the next time you want to make fun of Mike Tyson, look behind you first.
