He might be one of the scariest men on the planet but Mike Tyson is petrified of koalas. And here’s the proof.

Mike Tyson’s world tour continues and the former heavyweight champ is currently in Australia. As they tend to do, a cute and cuddly koala was on hand for a photo op but Mike is clearly not a fan.

When asked why he wouldn’t go near the furry little marsupial Iron Mike said: “I have seen the TV show When Good Animals Turn Bad. They also carry bacteria.''

Fair enough, we’re not going to argue with you.
