Former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, surely knows how to make a grand entrance. However, a recently resurfaced video of his walkout from 1999 caught the eye of fans. In fact, it was the presence of a particular individual that intrigued fans.

Tyson faced Francois Botha at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada on January 16, 1999. The former champ showcased a stellar performance and won the bout via a 5th-round-TKO.

It is worth noting that this was Tyson’s first fight after his controversial bout against Evander Holyfield in 1997.

But Tyson’s spectacular walkout before the battle set the fight apart. He walked out clad in black with ‘Intro – It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot’ by DMX playing in the back.
