Ways Mike Tyson Could Leave Your Jaw Hanging, No.1: By punching you.

Ways Mike Tyson Could Leave Your Jaw Hanging, No.2: By singing 'The Girl From Ipanema'.

On Brazilian TV.

With Daniel Jobim (grandson of Antonio Carlos) accompanying him on piano and backing vocals.

Well, we say 'backing vocals' - but in fact, Daniel takes over the lead at the tricky B section, because Mike commits a Jazz Schoogirl Error at that point, and hits the wrong note. Still, he's done worse, eh?

So, providing that you're on Team Tyson Rehabilitation (and heaven knows the makers of The Hangover are): sit back, relax, pour yourself a caipirinha - and enjoy a spot of 'boxer nova'...
