Mike Tyson has admitted he is scared of one man - and it might not be who you think.
Iron Mike dominated the boxing scene as an up and coming fighter, striking fear in whoever got in his way after demonstrating his destructive power.
It saw him become the youngest heavyweight champion of the world ever at the age of 20 years, 4 months, and 22 days old, knocking out Trevor Berbick to claim the WBC title.
And having not fought professionally, Tyson will return to the ring on November 15 when he faces YouTube sensation Jake Paul.

But it is not the 27-year-old who has sent shivers down his spine - instead he named a WWE legend as the scariest man he knows, Mick Foley.
Speaking on Logan Paul's podcast Impaulsive, the 58-year-old said: "What was that guy's name that keeps jumping off of everything?"
Paul, Jake's older brother, replied: "Oh, Mick Foley, Mankind?"
Tyson hit back: "Yeah! God damn I'm scared of that guy."
Foley, known as Mankind in the ring, was renowned for his jaw-dropping stunts when the WWE was known as the WWF, including a legendary moment in a Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker.

Famous footage has since become synonymous with the crazy world of wrestling in the 1990s when The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of the ring and into the announcers' table in June 1998.
The Undertaker also choke-slammed Mankind through the structure and also slamming him onto thumb tacks.
"This guy experienced death every day of his life. He's jumping off s*** and he's normal," Tyson added.

"He broke every bone in his body and he's a normal guy. Beautiful man. I just don't know why he don't like himself so much.
"That's a tough way to get paid, man. A tough way."
While Tyson and Paul will meet as boxers in the ring in November and not as wrestlers, the veteran fighter has admitted to feeling nervous before the clash.
