MIKE TYSON gave an over-excited fan a warning after getting a little too carried away while training on the pads.
The heavyweight legend posted a video on his Snapchat holding mitts for someone in dressed in a boxing robe in the gym.
But the fan got a bit too excited when throwing his punches – and had to be brought back down to Earth by Iron Mike.
Tyson, 57, menacingly said: “If anybody hits me I’m gonna f*** them up.”
It is no wonder the Baddest Man on The Planet is amped up, after all he is preparing to fight again.
Tyson faces YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 27, in Texas on July 20.

Paul is 9-1 as a boxer, suffering his only defeat to Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy in February 2023, but has won three since.
Meanwhile, Tyson retired in 2005 but did return in 2020 for an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr, which ended in an eight-round draw.
Tyson admitted he was full of nerves for that comeback bout four years ago and it is no different this time around.
He told FoxNews: “I have a weird personality – I don’t think it’s weird though.

“Whatever I’m afraid to do, I do it. That’s how it is. “I was afraid of the Roy fight.
“I was 100lb overweight, I was however old, 54, 53, and I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ Anything I’m afraid of, I confront it.
“That’s my personality. Right now, I’m scared to death.”
That bout was not officially sanctioned and was competed with 12oz gloves, over two minute rounds without headguards on.
But Tyson’s fight with Paul has not yet been confirmed as a pro fight or exhibition yet although headguards will NOT be worn.
