Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has met his match in the form of one of the most popular gifts this Christmas - the hoverboard.
Tyson today posted a video on social media of him trying to ride a hoverboard at home in front of his family, before it all went
horribly wrong and finished with him flat on his back on the floor.
The 49-year-old started well, completing two 360 degree turns before applauding his own effort with a celebratory clap of the hands.
Things went badly for 'Iron Mike' when he attempted to ride the hoverboard forward, only to lose his balance and fall backwards to land heavily on his back.
His young daughter can be heard early in the clip, cautioning her father as he spins around, saying: "Daddy, I don't want you to fall."
