Former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, is truly a formidable specimen of the sport. Moreover, Tyson’s stellar performances were a testament to his spectacular skills and reflexes. UFC welterweight contender, Jorge Masvidal recently shared a video of Tyson’s accuracy while he was blindfolded.

Tyson was a guest at Fox Sports in 2013. And, he was also taking part in one of their segments called, ‘Celebrities Throwing Sharp Objects Blindfolded’. The segment was exactly as the name entailed, and involved notable personalities having a go at a dartboard with their eyes covered.

However, what happened next shocked both Nolan and the audience. Tyson followed his first throw with two consecutive bulls eyes.

Masvidal, who reposted this video, mentioned, “#MikeTyson is incredible!”

While everyone else was excited about the interesting turn of events, Tyson in true ‘Iron’ Mike fashion was quick to mention that he was a ‘Shaolin Monk’.
