Watching Mike playing video games is just as entertaining as watching him fight…

The boxing legend that is Mike Tyson agreed to an endorsement deal back in the late 80’s to lend his face and name to the game ‘Punch Out’ for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

Recently, the lads from FOX Sports caught up with Mike and managed to record him playing the game for the first time, 25-years after it was first released.

We’re surprised it took Mike a quarter of a century to play the game, seeing as his name AND face is on the cover, but at least it looks like he had fun. It also helps that his video-gaming face is absolutely priceless…

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, yes… that is Mario in the picture above. He featured as the ref in ‘Punch Out’.
