Boxing legend Mike Tyson delivered one of his scariest death stares to a paparazzo hounding him in the streets -- and left him breathing heavily as a result.
The 54-year-old was widely revered for how he created a bone-chilling aura inside the squared circle.
And Tyson, who remains the youngest boxer to capture a heavyweight title, also managed to carry over that menacing presence for interviews.

A paparazzo pushed their luck too far with 'Iron' Mike when he was out shopping with a woman in West Hollywood.
The man can be heard asking Tyson question after question without him responding with an answer.
The boxing legend even acknowledged one passerby who yelled 'What's up, champ?,' only to continue walking down the street while being asked questions.
When the man stopped persisting with Tyson and allowed him to walk past, the 'Baddest Man on the Planet' lived up to his scary reputation.
Tyson maintained a stone-cold face and the paparazzo could be heard breathing loudly during the chilling exchange.

Even fans flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the man's loud breathing and Tyson's demeanour.
"If a celebrity doesn't need a body guard [sic] like Mike Tyson then maybe you shouldn't mess with them," one boxing fan wrote.
While another posted: "Dude started breathing erratically when mike stared him down, he sounded terrified."

A third said: "That's the new improved Tyson, the Tyson of old would of sent that smiling camera man [sic] to the hospital."
And a fourth fan added: "Based on his history with the media, Mike has learned a valuable lesson: Don't say anything. Just keep it moving. Very smart."

One fan suggested that Tyson delivered a "mental knockout" during the exchange, while another said the paparazzo should 'never play with lions.'
