Chris Jericho has revealed what it is was to be KO'd by Mike Tyson
However, “Iron Mike” has also forayed into the WWE world on several occasions and is a member of the company’s Hall of Fame.
He memorably started with a showdown with Stone Cold Steve Austin back in 1998.
Tyson ventured back into wrestling 12 years later as guest host of Monday night
And he ended up delivering a brutal punch to Jericho - with Y2J recently opening up on how terrified he was at the whole experience.
The wrestling star and boxing icon came to blows again on AEW's Dynamite in May after Jericho demanded an apology for the incident a decade ago.
The pair now look set to battle inside the squared-circle after months of training from Tyson in order to prepare for his fighting comeback.
Speaking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the current AEW superstar said: “The moment before he swung at me, I told him, ‘Just wait until I put my hands up in the air, and swing.’
“Time stood still. I am the craziest man on the planet right now, because I’m waiting for Iron Mike Tyson to take a swing at me.
“I thought ‘I’m going to let him do it. Hopefully, he’s going to do it the proper way. But what if he’s mad? What if he misses?’”
Tyson, fortunately for the wrestling icon, expertly delivered the blow but Jericho says he still felt the effects.
