Mike Tyson, known for his prowess in the boxing ring, once showcased an extraordinary skill in an unexpected arena: darts. Appearing on the ‘Celebrities Throwing Sharp Objects Blindfolded’ segment on FOX Sports’ ‘Crowd Goes Wild’ in 2013, Tyson astonished the audience with his accuracy while completely blindfolded. The former heavyweight champion claimed it was ‘Shaolin monk stuff,’ and his performance certainly backed up his words.
Armed with three darts, Tyson’s first throw hit the board to the cheers of the studio audience. His second effort was even more impressive, landing in the outer bullseye. The crowd erupted as Tyson prepared for his final throw, which, though not a bullseye, was remarkably close. Despite being blindfolded, Tyson demonstrated a surprising level of precision, leaving everyone in awe.
His performance earned him 55 points, placing him at the top of the show’s scoreboard, surpassing former NFL player Terrell Owens, who had previously led with 36 points. The segment was discontinued in 2014, ensuring Tyson’s score remains unmatched.
As Tyson prepares to return to the ring on November 15 for an exhibition bout against Jake Paul, fans are eagerly anticipating his comeback. Tyson’s last ring appearance was against Roy Jones Jr. in November 2020, and his training videos suggest he’s in formidable shape. Jake Paul, known for his tenacity and recent victories, will undoubtedly face a tough challenge.
Paul, originally scheduled to fight Tyson on July 20, faced a temporary setback when Tyson experienced a medical emergency. However, Tyson has recovered and resumed training, sharing his progress with fans on social media. Paul has expressed his hope for Tyson’s continued health, acknowledging the legend’s enduring power and experience.
