Mike Tyson dresses up as a bee

One of the most iconic quotes in boxing is, “Float Like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” It can even be argued that the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet’ is a personification of that very quote. However, Tyson recently surprised fans by dressing up as a bee for a segment of the Jimmy Kimmel show.

And there was no doubt that he looked ‘bee-utiful’.

The segment involved Kimmel challenging himself in a spelling contest against the winner of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Meanwhile, Guillermo Rodriguez and Tyson were also present donning bee costumes. Notably, the duo was partaking in the segment as ‘professional pronouncers’.
