Mike Tyson pulled off two incredible darts shots while playing blindfolded during TV appearance

Mike Tyson once managed to hit not one but two incredible shots while playing darts BLINDFOLDED.

Tyson, who returns to action on July 20 when he faces Jake Paul, appeared on the 'Celebrities Throwing Sharp Objects Blindfolded' segment on FOX Sports' 'Crowd Goes Wild' back in 2013.

He was armed with three darts and the former world heavyweight champion claimed it's 'Shaolin monk stuff' as he hit the board.

Presenter Katie Nolan praised him for finding the board, but what followed next were two near perfect shots.

His second effort managed to land in the outer bull as the studio audience erupted in cheers.

'Iron' Mike is still unaware of how well he's doing due to the blindfold and launches his final dart.

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

Tyson 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 57-year-old smiled before bowing at the studio audience.

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

Tyson recorded a staggering 55 points, which took him to the top of the show's scoreboard.

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, meanwhile, will lace up the gloves once again as he meets Paul in an exhibition bout that will be aired on Netflix.

It will be his first appearance in a ring since his clash with fellow boxing legend Roy Jones Jr back in November 2020.
