Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was feeling 'bee-autiful' whilst dancing in a bee costume during an appearance on US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Tyson appeared on the show as an 'assistant word pronunciator' during the 17th annual Jimmy Kimmel Live Spelling Bee competition. Kimmel was going up against 14-year-old Harini Logan, who won $50,000 for placing first in this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee.
'Iron Mike' read words alongside Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez, who served as the 'expert word pronunciator'. The pair read words such as sesquicentennial, phenomenon and isosceles wrong as Logan and Kimmel tried their hardest to guess the mispronunciations.
Logan was again crowned the winner in her battle against Kimmel as Tyson and Rodriguez rewarded her with a trophy and tickets for a trip to Disneyland. Tyson showed off himself in the bee costume in a clip dancing on Instagram, singing: "I'm feeling beautiful".

Tyson has been called out for a fight by YouTube brothers Jake and Logan Paul should the former undisputed heavyweight champion choose to step between the ropes again. 'Iron Mike' had a hugely successful return event in 2020 facing fellow legend Roy Jones Jr in an un-scored exhibition fight.
The 57-year-old has since been subject to constant talks of another comeback fight. It was reported that Tyson had verbally agreed to face Jake last year in a bout that was said to be worth $100 million. Tyson recently admitted he opened talks with Jake over a potential fight.
Tyson has previously stated he wouldn't be able to knockout Paul because his family loves the YouTube star too much. He added that it would take a fight that could break the pay-per-view record to get him in the ring again, something Paul thinks him vs Tyson could do.
"The old generation of boxing with the new generation of boxing, all being mixed into one," Paul told Boxing Social about the potential fight. "As Mike Tyson said on the Joe Rogan podcast, it would be one of the biggest pay-per-views of all time.
"Together when we were on the same card, we sold almost two million pay-per-views. It could be three million pay-per-views, four million pay-per-views. Mike Tyson like you said on the podcast, if you're watching this, let's make the fight happen. I'm ready and I think I would win, Mike thinks he would win, so let's do it."
