After fighting for most of his life, Mike Tyson just wants to have some fun.
That's more than evident via the trailer for the new episode of Spike's Lip Sync Battle, which will have the former world heavyweight boxing champion going head-to-head with buff actor Terry Crews in their best karaoke renditions Thursday night at 10 p.m.
And from the looks of this trailer, Iron Mike goes all in—old-school, multi-colored leather jacket and all—with his take on Salt-N-Pepa's classic "Push It."
From dancing absolutely uninhibited to getting the crowd hyped, the Baddest Man on The Planet couldn't be enjoying himself more.
Terry Crews doesn't stand a chance...or does he?
Who would have thought we'd see the day that Tyson goes from tapping jaws to tapping his feet on stage? Hilarious!
Interesting sidenote is that Lip Sync Battle is hosted by LL Cool J. Back in 1998, hip-hop heads will remember that Iron Mike backed then-new rhyme slinger Canibus, even appearing as his boxing trainer in the "Second Round K.O." video, which was a diss record/video aimed at LL. Tyson can be heard in the beginning of the record and seen in the video ordering Canibus to "eat, eat, eat, eat MCs."
LL would respond with his own scathing diss record, "The Ripper Strikes Back," on which he asks Canibus, "Tell me about the things ear-biter taught you." Ouch. But that was a long, long time ago and from the looks of this video, LL looks to be having as much fun as Tyson.
