One of the most dominant heavyweights to burst into the squared circle, ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson struck fear in his opponents throughout his illustrious career often having his opponent defeated mentally before the bell would even ring.

Fast forward to the present the day, Mike Tyson is much more at peace outside the ring having long left ‘Kid Dynamite’ behind, making appearances in movies such as the Hangover and even headlined his own stand-up comedy show called Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.

However in the following interview with Piers Morgan, the former world champion although very jovial still shows he hasn’t forgotten what got him to where he is today, as both Tyson and Morgan both lace up the gloves for an impromptu boxing lesson.

How will Piers Morgan fare? Check out the full clip below.

Mike Tysonis an American former professional boxer who competed from 1985 to 2005. He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win a heavyweight title at 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old. Tyson won his first 19 professional fights by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. He won the WBC title in 1986 after stopping Trevor Berbick in two rounds and added the WBA and IBF titles after defeating James Smith and Tony Tucker in 1987. This made Tyson the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles, and the only heavyweight to successively unify all of them. Mike Tyson is considered one of the best heavyweights of all time and has been inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the World Boxing Hall of Fame.[Source: Wiki]
