Watch Mike Tyson Box Himself In Punch-Out!!
Jimmy Fallon loves to let his video game flag fly on The Tonight Show, and he's really outdone himself this time. The host has convinced world-famous boxer Mike Tyson to square off with himself in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! for the NES.
The segment begins with Jimmy Fallon explaining to Kid Dynamite himself how intimidating the final battle against himself is and how it's impacted kids who grew up playing the game. Tyson also appears to believe the 1987 NES game is still available in stores. Fallon then presents Tyson with the win-win scenario of fighting himself as Punch-Out!!'s hero, Little Mac. If he wins, then Mike Tyson wins. If he loses... Mike Tyson wins! Watch the video below to see how the fight goes down.
If that's not enough footage of virtual Tyson dismantling his opponents, watch both Dan Ryckert and Joe Juba try to beat the champ on Replay.
