The time Kylian Mbappe met Mike Tyson

French soccer player Kylian Mbappe had a chance to meet legendary boxer Mike Tyson at the French Open final in 2018.

The pair sat together at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris while Sloane Stephens and Anett Kontaviet competed. At the end of the game, Mbappe and Tyson were talking and someone took a picture of the soccer player with “The Baddest Man on the Planet”. Mbappe took to Twitter to post the photo and captioned it:

“LEGEND.”

Tyson even walked away from the event with his own personalized PSG jersey. Perhaps when they met, ‘Iron’ Mike shared some boxing secrets with Mbappe that helped him achieve such a great score on the punching machine.
