Watch boxing legend Mike Tyson attempt to pull off skateboard trick.. before toppling backwards into a chair

THIS is the hilarious moment boxing legend Mike Tyson attempts to pull off a skateboard trick.

But he instead falls off the board before toppling backwards into a chair.

Tyson, 56, is known for his larger-than-life personality both inside and outside the ring.

And while interviewing skateboarding icon Tony Hawk on his Hotboxin̢۪ podcast, Tyson decided to give things a try himself.

Jumping up on the board, the former heavyweight boxing champ looked to be in control as he showed off to pals.

But things went wrong when Tyson appeared to attempt a trick.

He immediately lost balance as he tried to shift his weight, saying: “Oh I better stop this.”

But Tyson could not prevent himself from falling off the board completely.

He went crashing into a chair while also knocking part of his podcast set.

But thankfully Tyson̢۪s seat took the brunt of the fall and the rest of his props were left undamaged.

Everyone present found the situation hilarious, with Tyson exclaiming: “I’m okay baby, nothing happened.”

He then posted the clip to Instagram with the caption: “Lucky that chair was there or it would have been a repeat of the hoverboard scene.”

Fans certainly found the incident amusing, with one saying: “That play off was mad good.”;

Another laughed: “Man was scared for his life.”;

One quipped: “Damn champ I think you’ve got to stay off boards.”;

Another added: “It was a skateboard that took down the champ.”;

It̢۪s not the first wild video Tyson̢۪s been in recently.

Just last month a crazed fan pulled out a gun during a Hollywood comedy gig, with Tyson in the audience.

But despite being confronted, he showed his composure by remaining cool and collected.

Elsewhere, Tyson says painkillers are to blame for the moment he fell asleep during a live TV interview in 2020.
