The former ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ has shown fans his softer side by hilariously donning a bee costume for his appearance on the popular American chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Mike Tyson uploaded a video to social media of him embracing the cute bee suit, which apparently made him appreciate just how bee-autiful he is.
"I'm feeling beautiful, beautiful, beautiful," Tyson sang as he danced around in his new favourite outfit.
The youngest heavyweight boxing champion in history posted the video just six hours ago and it is already closing in on one million likes from ‘Iron Mike’ fans who love seeing this side of him.
Tyson has been retired from boxing since 2005 and has been able to show off his true personality with things such as his podcast, movie cameos, TV appearances, and social media content.
In his heyday, the 55-year-old was arguably the most ferocious puncher in boxing history and almost undoubtedly among the most feared men on the planet.
Tyson became famous at 20 years old when he became the youngest-ever fighter to win a world heavyweight title but reached the peak of his powers in the late 1980s and 1990s.
‘Kid Dynamite’ picked up high profile knockout wins over the likes of Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Frank Bruno, and even Julius Francis who has been back in the news this week for knocking out an aggressive punter while working as a security guard.

While Tyson’s performances in the ring were often electrifying it was his ability on the mic that struck fear into his opponents and those watching around the world.
The boxing legend famously claimed he wanted to eat Lennox Lewis’ children in 2000, two years before he finally clashed with the man many believe to be the best British heavyweight of all time.
“I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there's ever been," Tyson said after knocking out Lou Savarese in one round at Hampden Park.
"There's no one who can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No, I'm Alexander, he's no Alexander,” I'm the best ever. There's never been anybody as ruthless.
"I'm Sonny Liston, I’m Jack Dempsey. There's no one like me. I'm from their cloth. There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defence is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.”
After sailing off into the sunset a few years later, Tyson has certainly become a more cerebral character but proved earlier this year that he is not to be messed with.
In May, Tyson had a physical altercation with a drunk fan aboard a flight and was videoed Melvin Townsend III in an attack his team claims was provoked by the ‘aggressive passenger’ who threw a water bottle at the beloved boxer.
