Video: Mike Tyson fighting set to Street Fighter sound effects is probably the best video you’ll see today

There’s not enough Hadoukens for our liking but apart from that this video is pretty much perfect.

There’s not enough Hadoukens for our liking but apart from that this video is pretty much perfect.

The Internet is great for any number of reasons. It’s a brilliant news source, it allows us to interact with our friends via social media and of course, there are any amount of hilarious cat videos to keep one entertained for hours. But the real reason the internet was made was for things like this.

Essentially, one very creative YouTube user (Vogey) has collected just under four minutes worth of footage of Mike Tyson training and fighting and dubbed it with the Street Fighter background music and the sound effects of the character Balrog, who is believed to be based on Iron Mike himself.

But merely describing it as such fails to do justice to how brilliant and hilarious this video is, so hilarious, in fact, that Tyson himself even retweeted a link to it from his own Twitter account only a few hours ago.

Putting it up there as the best video you’ll see today, this week and maybe even this year might be high praise, but we don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
