Mike Tyson Shows His Brilliant Darts Technique And Hits Two Bulls While Blindfolded

Mike Tyson Shows His Brilliant Darts Technique And Hits Two Bulls While Blindfolded

There's a reason 'Iron Mike' calls himself a 'Shaolin Monk'.

Mike Tyson once managed to hit two bulls while playing darts blindfolded.

'Iron Mike' appeared on the 'Celebrities Throwing Sharp Objects Blindfolded' segment on FOX Sports' 'Crowd Goes Wild' back in 2013.

Katie Nolan arms Tyson with three darts and the former heavyweight champion claims it's 'Shaolin monk stuff' as he hits the board.

Nolan praises him for hitting the board but what followed next were two near perfect shots.

His second effort manages to land in the green bull as the studio audience erupts in cheers.

'The Baddest Man on the Planet' is still unaware of how well he's doing thanks to the blindfold and launches his final shot.

It's nearly identical to his first throw and is mere inches from a legendary bullseye.

Tyson frequently insists that he's completely blind during the throws and fixes his blindfold to prove it.

"I don't want to say anything, I'm not gonna brag but - thank you," the 53-year-old smiled before bowing at the studio audience.

He then goes on to say,

"I'm a Shaolin monk, I told y'all that I'm a Shaolin monk."

He manages to take his place at the top of the show's scoreboard with an astonishing 55 points.

It put him above former NFL player Terrell Owens who originally topped the table with 36 points.

The show segment was discontinued in 2014 so Tyson's point total will stand the test of time.

Tyson's reflexes and instincts combined with his speed are what made him one of the greatest boxers of his era.

He had an incredible physique which allowed him to punch quick and punch hard and it took an incredible amount of work, according to Brawl Bros, with his day starting at 4 am following a schedule of:

  • Waking up at 4 am - 3 to 5-mile jog
  • Breakfast
  • Sparring 10 to 12 rounds

  • Calisthenics (push ups, dips, sit-ups and shrugs and 10 minutes of neck work)
  • Lunch break
  • Six rounds of sparring, bag work, slip bag, jump rope, pad work and speed bag.
  • More calisthenics
  • Shadow boxing focused on technique, often just one.
  • More calisthenics
  • Dinner
  • Exercise Bike for cool down
  • Study fights or training footage

So it comes as no shock that he could transfer those skills to other walks of life.
