Boxing legend Mike Tyson recently praised Brazilian soccer icon Pele on his podcast Hotboxin with Mike Tyson. However, it seems that he also has some affiliation with another Brazilian superstar after a resurfaced picture of the two together broke the internet.

In this photo, the former heavyweight can be seen standing alongside former Ballon D’ Or winner Ronaldinho. The two are seen smiling in one frame sporting two black tank tops. Moreover, this photo was clicked on the set of Kickboxer Retaliation, a movie in which the two featured together.

This was not all, as the fans were also quick to react to this iconic photo resurfacing on the internet.

Fans react to Mike Tyson standing alongside Ronaldinho

One fan stated that it was his dream to click a photo alongside these two legends. “That’s my dream.” he wrote.

Another fan praised the two icons for their contribution to their respective sports. “Legends.” he wrote.

A fan also touted Tyson and Ronaldinho as his heroes. ” My heroes,” he wrote.

However, One fan was not happy that Tyson would rather spend time with another celebrity and not him because he was apparently not worthy of hanging out with ‘Iron Mike’. “I give up Mike! Apparently, I am not worthy to meet you because you are always too much entertained by celebrities!” he wrote.

Lastly, one fan also praised the two former champions. “2 greats/legends” he wrote.

The fans were more than happy to see two of their childhood heroes standing together in one frame. However, this doesn’t mean Iron Mike doesn’t think highly of Pele who he recently praised.

Tyson talks highly of Pele along with Snoop Dogg

On his podcast HotBoxin, Tyson along with rapper Snoop Dogg were discussing soccer when Tyson claimed that Pele was a notch above the rest. “That’s distinguished, that’s a bad*ss.” said Tyson. The rapper then went on to state that Pele belonged in the same breath as other greats like Muhammad Ali. “: There’s Ali, Pele. He up there will Ali, man. That’s Pele, man, knock it of” he said.

The two certainly think very highly of the soccer legend who is currently in bad shape. Pele has been experiencing health problems and was even admitted to the hospital. However, he has millions of people praying for his recovery including ‘Iron Mike’ as well.
