Mike Tyson demonstrated he has lost little of his formidable punching power after dropping YouTube star MrBeast to the floor with a brutal blow.
The duo were in attendance at the fight in Las Vegas between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez.
Crawford emerged victorious with a unanimous points decision over Canelo, with two judges scoring the scoring the bout 115-113, while the third member of the panel scored the fight 116-112, all in Crawford's favour.
Crawford's victory made history as he became the first male fighter in the modern era across three different weight divisions - light welterweight, welterweight and now at super middleweight.

Tyson is one of boxing's most legendary figures thanks to his exploits in the heavyweight division.
Tyson last fought in the boxing ring in November 2024 when he fought YouTuber Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Tyson lost that controversial bout via a unanimous decision, meaning his professional boxing record now stands at 50 wins, seven losses and two no contests from 59 fights.

However, Tyson is still not done in the boxing ring after it was recently announced he will take on fellow boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jnr in an exhibition match next year.
But before that fight takes place, Tyson was at the Allegiant Stadium to watch Crawford beat Canelo as the former made boxing history.
YouTube star MrBeast, who has 435 million subscribers on his channel, was also in attendance at the fight.

And he was on the receiving end of punishment from Tyson ahead of the fight between Canelo and Crawford.
A video shows MrBeast alongside Tyson and Saudi Arabian boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh as the YouTuber raised awareness of the upcoming bout by taking a punch from Iron Mike.
He said: "Mike Tyson is about to punch me, because thanks to Riyadh Season, Canelo v Crawford is about to happen, it literally starts within an hour, after this you need to go watch it.
"And to raise awareness I'm going to take a punch from Mike Tyson, whenever you're ready."

Tyson then proceeded to land a punch to MrBeast's torso as he appeared to catch the YouTube star off-guard and struck him almost immediately after he had finished his sentence inviting him to land a blow to him, while wearing a boxing glove.
Iron Mike laughed in the aftermath as MrBeast grabbed his stomach and almost collapsed to his knees, as Tyson helped to make sure he did not completely make it to the floor.
The YouTube star repeatedly said 'okay' and the look on his face made it clear what taking a punch from a professional boxer is like with jis incredibly wide eyes, before later crouching down and covering his face with his hand as Tyson rubbed his shoulder.
