Chuck Liddell believes that tennis superstar Serena Williams can become a 'BAAAD woman' under the boxing tutelage of Mike Tyson.

Tyson, 53, uploaded a video to his Instagram of the 38-year-old Williams hitting the bag and showing she has "some power."

When UFC legend Liddell was asked about his thoughts on the video, he told TMZ: "Mike's a BAAAD man! Trust me!

"If she wants to fight and Mike teaches her? She'll be a BAAAD woman!"

But Liddell, who has previously had a rivalry with boxing legend Tyson, insisted that she has a long path ahead of her before she becomes a 'BAAAD woman.'

The 50-year-old UFC Hall of Famer continued: "She looks like a girl who just learned how to punch."

Tyson's training session with Williams has been viewed over 1.5m times on the social media platform after it was posted earlier this month.

And Instagram users were left in awe at the two sporting legends training together.

Miguel Leon Tyson, who has also trained with his dad, posted: "So cool."

While user vanleesten wrote: "That left from that tennis back hand [sic]."

A third user said: "That is some intense upper body right there."

And a fourth user added: "Would not like to be on the end of 1 of them."

Tyson also posed for a photo with Williams and praised the tennis superstar in a separate Instagram post.

'Iron' Mike posted: "I don't want to get in the ring with this GOAT @serenawilliams much love and respect."

Liddell ignited a rivalry with Tyson after suggesting that he would beat the boxing legend in a street fighter.

And a YouTuber put the former UFC light heavyweight champ's claims to the test after simulating a fight between the two living legends.
