“I Had to Close My Eyes and Reexamine What I Was Looking At”: Forgotten Clip of Mike Tyson Dancing in “Every Little Step” Music Video Sends Shockwaves Through Boxing World

Mike Tyson did not have a fairy tale ending to his spectacular career. He ended his career with a defeat back in 2005. However, throughout his career and after, Tyson has remained in the public limelight. He is a well-known figure apart from his accolades and achievements inside the ring.

He is a cultural icon; has a cameo in TV shows and has multiple documentaries based on his life. Not to mention, he is friends with rappers, Hollywood actors, and celebrities from all walks of life. Even today, almost two decades after his retirement, Tyson remains a relevant figure and is the host of one of the most famous podcasts in the world, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson.”

Back in 2010, Tyson made a 180 turn, by teaming up with comedian Wayne Brady to spoof a music video of Bobby Brown’s, “Every Little Step.” In the spoof, Tyson appears to be wearing a black suit and dancing like one has never seen him before.

Mike Tyson spoof makes the fans confused

At the time when the spoof was released, the fans were stunned and amused to witness Tyson; the once ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’, making his best attempt to dance to a pop song. And the same has remained the case even today. Recently, the video resurfaced online, and the fans reminisced about the time they first witnessed it. Few got exposed to it the first time and were confused and made their reactions public.

The video resurfaced a couple of days on Twitter. The clip featured a part of the music video which featured Tyson alongside comedian Wayne in the spoof. 

The fans were stunned to witness the same. A fan tèt kabrit mentioned that Tyson lived a life many can only dream of. He stated, “As much as they rightfully slander mike Tyson for his past he’s definitely enjoyed life since he got back on the scene.
