MIKE TYSON joined Tyson Fury for a heavyweight dinner final night time earlier than the legend started WAVING A SWORD round.
Iron Mike and the WBC world champion Gypsy King are each in Saudi Arabia for the movie star grudge match between Jake Paul and Tommy Fury.
And the 2 icons joined forces within the Center East on Friday to take pleasure in a chew to eat earlier than being handed swords to wave round with a few of the locals.
The Baddest Man on the Planet shared footage of the get-together on Instagram, and hilariously captioned it with: “Two Tyson’s are higher than 1.”
It comes after Tyson, 56, spoke about his pleasure over the battle, regardless of not understanding who Tommy was.
The American has been a fan of Paul's polarising boxing profession and even had him on his comeback undercard in 2020.
However Iron Mike was unaware of who Fury was, regardless of being the youthful brother of world champion Tyson.
He advised talkSPORT: “Hey, hear, I solely noticed Paul, I’ve by no means seen Fury battle. I don’t know, I by no means noticed Fury battle.”
Paul, 26, knocked out ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 38, the night time Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition bout.
Has since gone 6-0, beating ex-MMA champions in Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Anderson Silva, 47.

Fury, 23, would be the first recognised boxer Paul has to this point confronted, however his 6-0 document was hailed by the person who famously bit a bit out of Evander Holyfield’s ear.
Tyson stated: “Nicely, he does have boxing expertise.
“He boxed earlier than as a result of it reveals in his fights and he’s gained in opposition to people who he shouldn’t beat.
“And hear, I don’t assume they introduced him right here to lose both, as a result of he’s good for preventing and is sweet for boxing.
“He makes extra money than the champions of boxing. So he’s an enigma.”
In the meantime, John Fury, the daddy of Gypsy King and Tommy, can also be in Saudi making ready his son for the bout.
He revealed beforehand how he had named Tyson after the previous world champion, and Iron Mike thanked him for the gesture once they got here face-to-face this week.
John advised Tyson: “Right here he's, my most important man. That is him, the person who I named my son after.
“Greatest heavyweight of his period, finest younger man ever born. Michael Tyson.”
The veteran responded: “Your son has taken the title to the following stage.”
John replied: “He is not going to let your title down Michael.”
Earlier than Tyson added: “Thanks and I admire that. I didn’t wish to say it in public however I’m honoured. Thanks, actually.”
