Mike Tyson doesn’t require an introduction since he was arguably one of the best boxers in history alongside Muhammad Ali. He exhibited unmatched skill during his career and had attacks that could almost rip the flesh off opponents. Recently he shocked the fight fans when he was spotted at the Miami Airport in a wheelchair. Subsequently, Iron Mike’s long history of back issues led to the revelation that he has sciatica flare-ups.

“The Man, The Myth, The Legend”, Ric Flair, was seen with him. Notably, Flair shared a video with Tyson in which he responded to the latter in only five words that took the internet by storm.

Earlier this year, Tyson and Flair joined forces with Mike to form ‘Tyson 2.0,’ and they also worked together to create Naitch’s ‘Ric Flair Drip’ cannabis brand. In light of this fact, it seems that both legends from their respective fields have developed a close bond.

Meanwhile, in a video just like the previous time, both legends were smoking blunts. During the video, The Nature Boy said, “Mike Tyson 2.0”. In reply to that, Iron Mike stated, “That’s a way to go.” Based on the video, Tyson once more showed his mental toughness after dealing with some of the most challenging circumstances in his life. Notably, it wasn’t the only time that this happened. A few days ago, The Nature Boy, in a recent Tweet, shared that they were both puffing on a blunt on stage.
