Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson isn’t just the master in the ring, he is quite the lady’s man. At least, that’s what the fans have been saying after a resurfaced clip of Tyson with comedian and TV show host Chelsea Handler resurfaced on the internet recently. You see, back in December 2013, ‘Iron’ Mike appeared in the ‘Chelsea Lately’ show.

Tyson was eight years into his retirement when he appeared in episode 182 of season 7 of the TV show to discuss his new book ‘Undisputed Truth.’ During the interview, he opened up about a range of topics, including the logistics of using fake p**s to pass drug tests during his boxing career, his time in prison, his family life, and the story behind his infamous face tattoo. However, one particular segment of the show has recently captured the public’s attention.

Mike Tyson lands a flirtation knockout shot

Recently, Handler shared a clip on YouTube titled “Mike Tyson on Chelsea Lately,” where the duo casually discuss their shared New Jersey roots. The conversation takes a playful turn when Handler asks, “Do you have a house here [in LA], or do you stay in a hotel?”

Tyson responds, “No, I live in a hotel,” to which Handler teasingly reveals, “I live in a hotel too right now.” Tyson, sensing an opportunity, asks with a smile, “Where’s your hotel?” The studio audience bursts into laughter as Handler, clearly enjoying the banter, dodges the question with a sly, “It’s just right around the corner.”

Since the clip was uploaded, fans have quickly picked up on Tyson’s flirtatious vibe, with many noting the undeniable chemistry between him and Handler.

Fans fawn over Handler’s beauty

Despite the original YouTube clip being 9 years old, the reposted shorter version quickly started commanding attention online. One user praised Handler’s skills as a talk show host. “This girl is SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED,” the user wrote. She is not just a TV show host, Handler has appeared in several TV Shows and movies. 

Meanwhile, this user highlighted the chemistry between Tyson and Handler. “He’s got her giggling like a schoolgirl, lol.  Looks good on ya, Chels,” the user commented. Interestingly, Handler also shared the same clip on Instagram with the caption, “If only Mike Tyson hit Jake Paul the way he hit on me.” Jake Paul recently defeated Mike Tyson in a professional bout via unanimous decision. The next user felt Handler didn’t realize Tyson was flirting with her. “Chels he was hitting on ya,” the user wrote. But clearly, she knew it quite well.

Another user was fawning over Handler’s beauty. “She is so f**king beautiful!♥️,” the user commented. Interestingly, back in 2012, some reports say, Handler was dating comedian and actor Jo Koy. 

While everyone else was talking about Tyson and Handler, this user remembered where they had seen Handler before. “She the mom from fun size,” the user wrote. Handler played the role of Joy in the comedy/adventure movie ‘Fun Size,’ which came out in 2012. 

That said, it appears Chelsea Handler looking back at her interview with Mike Tyson gave fans a nostalgic hit of their past. Regardless, the question is, what did you think about the clip from 2013?
