Mike Tyson gives hilarious response to viral 100 men vs one gorilla question - as boxing legend reveals his bizarre strategy for taking down primate
Mike Tyson has waded into the viral silverback gorilla debate, claiming the animal would get 'f**cked up' if it had to fight 100 versions of the former world heavyweight champion.
There's been plenty of social media chatter recently on what it would take to beat a gorilla in hand-to-hand combat.
The debate has focused on the prospects of 100 fighters vs a lone silverback.
Some social media users have gone as far as to post AI videos detailing fights between a gorilla and 100 men.
Speaking to IFLTV boxing, the boxer was asked if 100 Mike Tysons would stand a chance against a full-size gorilla.
'The gorilla's gonna get f**ked up,' claimed Tyson.

Mike Tyson revealed his bizarre strategy if 100 versions of the former boxer fought a gorilla
'Because you have to think, no serious.
'100 of us right, 20 at a time rushing him, biting him, get that motherf**ker, he's not gonna do well.
'We're gonna stomp his teeth out of his mouth, kick him in the b**ls, grab his d**k, he's not going to do it.
'I don't know what to tell you what we'd do to that gorilla.
'100 of me? Get out of here!'
Tyson's prediction may well have been tested decades ago when he unsuccessfully tried to take on a Gorilla in New York City.
During his boxing prime, Tyson tried to bribe a worker at the Bronx Zoo to let him into the cage and take a swing at a silverback.
'When we got to the gorilla cage there was one big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas,' Tyson told The Sun in 2020.
'They were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant
'I offered the attendant $10,000 to open the cage and let me smash that silverback's snotbox!
'He declined…'
Tyson lasts boxed for real in November, taking on YouTuber Jake Paul.
In only his second fight since 2005, Tyson, much older than Paul at 58, lasted the full eight rounds but lost in a unanimous decision to his younger opponent.

Ioan Gruffudd announces he's expecting first child with his wife Bianca - two months after tying the knot
and his wife Bianca have announced they're expecting to welcome their first child together. The Fantastic Four actor, 51, and Aussie actress Bianca, 32, shared the exciting news to Instagram on Sunday morning. The couple posted a sweet black and white photo of Ioan kissing his wife's growing baby bump. 'Baby Gruffudd poppin' out to say hello!' the caption read. The post was inundated with well wishes from their friends and fans, with one person writing: 'Over the moon with excitement Mr & Mrs Gruffudd.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Wow!! The best news! What a lucky baby, with two caring thoughtful loving parents. Made my day!!!' another wrote. A third said: 'This is everything that everyone follows you guys hoped for! Wishing you love, happiness and the best wishes! You will have the most beautiful child.' In April, Ioan and Bianca took to their respective Instagrams to share a video of them tying the knot in a romantic ceremony, captioning their posts: 'Mr & Mrs Gruffudd. Marriage now, wedding later.' Set to Martin Arteta's track Past Lives, the video shows the pair saying their vows in front of an idyllic backdrop with a stunning sea view. The pair, who went public with their relationship in October 2021, looked happier than ever. Their happy moment comes following Ioan's messy split with Alice Evans. Ioan and Alice Evans formally divorced in July 2023. However, they are still battling fiercely over spousal support and custody and financial support for their two daughters Ella, 15, and Elsie, 11. At the September 9 court hearing, Judge Josh Freeman Stinn signed off on a stipulated agreement in which Ioan pays $3,000 a month temporary child support and $1,500 a month temporary spousal support until another February 13 hearing where a more permanent support arrangement was to be forged. Ioan planned to call his then fiancée Bianca as a witness at the February hearing to testify that his ex wife 'stalked, harassed and abused' her, repeatedly violating a three-year domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) which she and Ioan took out in August 2022, after enduring a 'smear campaign' of hateful text messages, emails and social media posts from her. Ioan claims that Alice 'engaged in a pattern of damaging and defamatory conduct against me, aimed at intimidating and harassing me and my fiancé, Bianca Wallace, while alienating our two young children from me.' Ioan – whose latest movie, Bad Boys: Ride or Die has grossed more than $403 million worldwide – has fought Evans' demands for more money, claiming he's paid some $400,000 more in spousal support that he needed to under their pre-marital agreement. In earlier court papers, he called her claims of poverty 'exaggerated' and said it's a 'false narrative' that she and the children have been left destitute. The former couple met on the set of the movie 102 Dalmatians more than 20 years ago. They fell in love in real life and were married in Mexico in 2007. Ioan filed for divorce in March 2021, shortly after Alice announced on social media that her husband of 14 years was walking out on her and their two daughters. Meanwhile, in February this year, Alice revealed she's being evicted from her LA home after being 'unable to pay her rent'. The actress wrote on Instagram that she and her daughters have 'no way of renting even the cheapest room in the city' after being beset by financial woes amid her bitter court battle with ex-husband Ioan. Sharing a sweet throwback snap with her two daughters, Alice shared that she is like many others in Los Angeles trying to find a new place to live after the city was devastated by fires in January. Alice was thought to be renting a home in California with her two children after her bitter divorce from Ioan. Earlier this month, she created her own Divorce fundraiser, setting up a GoFundMe which has so far raised $18,828, but admitted she was 'so embarrassed' to have to do so. But in a positive update recently shared on Instagram, Alice revealed that she, her daughters and her dog Emma now have a 'roof over their heads' and had retained their possessions after worrying she would lose them as she thanked fans for donating.

'Scared' Gemma Collins 'calls 999 after receiving abusive letter at her home'
The Only Way Is Essex icon Gemma Collins reportedly had to call the police after receiving a 'threatening and abusive' letter at her home A 'scared' Gemma Collins reportedly called the police after she received a 'threatening and abusive' letter at her home from a man who wrote about his extreme dislike for her. The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 44, called the cops, who then visited her home in the countryside. Following the reported incident, it has been said that the TV personality has upped her security with round the clock dog patrols and loved ones keeping her company. According to an insider, the Celebrity Big Brother icon was left 'shaken and very scared for her safety' after receiving the letter. The source said the abusive letter was from a "man expressing his extreme dislike for her and using menacing language." They added: "It was really nasty and made reference to tracking her down, so she called the police straight away." The Mirror have reached out to Gemma's representatives for comment. The source went on to tell The Sun that Gemma has been grateful to the police for their help in the "ongoing investigation". In May, Gemma revealed on a podcast that she had to deal with stalkers over the years, which "played havoc on her mind". Gemma said: 'No one would believe the bloody crap I've had to deal with. I've had a woman stalker who wrote me a letter in white gloves and wanted to kill me. "You know, people would wish me dead. I'd get all sorts at the shop. Weird. People are weird. And that's why in a way I came away from my shop in the end.' Meanwhile, Gemma has been struggling with her health in recent weeks. Earlier this week, a bedridden Gemma took to Instagram to share an update about her health, revealing that she had been seriously unwell for a number of weeks. In her post, which included a photo of the reality TV star laying in bed, she wrote: "Hey guys sorry been quiet i have Pneumonia. I'm not as fast or on it as I usually am on the daily. I am still honouring my work commitments which is taking every bit of energy I have but will be back entertaining you all soon." In a further update on her Instagram Story, Gemma revealed she was receiving treatment via a drip and had been seen by a doctor. Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs typically caused by an infection, and while most people recover within two to four weeks, infants, the elderly, and those with heart or lung conditions are at a higher risk of severe illness and may require hospitalisation. Luckily, Gemma has not had to go to hospital, but speaking to The Mirror, she admitted that she felt as though she was "dying".
