Throughout his career, Muhammad Ali was known for his vicious speed and unique footwork.
He would come up with the iconic phrase ‘float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.’
In a video uploaded to the YouTube channel, Mike Tyson, another heavyweight great, could be seen mimicking Ali’s shuffle in front of the legend himself.
It’s fair to say that, despite the comedy around it, Tyson was pretty accurate with the shuffle and it’s clear to see just how much he loves and adores Ali, something that was picked up in the comment section of the video.
“After all the years, Tyson was still the little boy admiring his greatest hero,” one viewer wrote, whilst another said: “I just love how the baddest man in the world becomes a little boy trying to impress his idol.”
“So crazy how after all these 30+ years. Mike Tyson is still the same little kid looking up to his greatest hero,” was another comment.
Mike Tyson imitating the Ali Shuffle in front of Muhammad Ali is so wholesome
“Tyson is like a little kid trying to impress his father riding a bicycle.”
