Mike Tyson can not only punch, he can push it (real good). Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like he can dance so great or keep the mic up to his mouth — but the energy was on point.
The former heavyweight champion of the world recently took his turn on Spike TV’s “Lip Sync Battle,” singing Salt-N-Pepa’s 1986 hit “Push It.” Tyson, in proper attire, threw punches and humped the air through the roughly 25-second clip.
His competition was the equally physically imposing Terry Crews, who stars on Fox’s “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
“Lip Sync Battle,” which began as a recurring segment on Jimmy Fallon‘s “Tonight Show,” comes from John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant. Fallon’s Eight Million Plus Productions is also involved, as is Matador.
LL Cool J hosts the half-hour program; Chrissy Teigen plays the sidekick role.
Tyson vs. Crews debuts Thursday, April 23 at 10 p.m.
