Mike Tyson, the ever-unpredictable boxing icon, found himself at the center of a social media mystery after sharing a bizarre birthday celebration video—over two months before his actual birthday.
On April 14, fans scrolling through Tyson’s official Facebook account stumbled upon a video that immediately raised eyebrows. The footage featured Tyson surrounded by friends and family, gamely trying to blow out the candles on a birthday cake. After a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday,” Tyson beamed and quipped, “Why, thank you everybody. I’m just thinking 57 years ago I was born, huh?” He paused, made his wish, then leaned in to blow out the candles…only for the flames to miraculously relight. The prank candles left Tyson smiling and joking, “Why are you guys f****** with me? This is crazy, right?”
For Tyson and his guests, it was a funny moment. For fans online? Confusion set in fast.
Why? Because Mike Tyson’s birthday isn’t until June 30. The video, posted on April 14, was either an epic case of jumping the gun or—more likely—an old clip posted in error. Adding to the confusion, Tyson’s reflection on being born “57 years ago” doesn’t match his current age; he’ll turn 59 this June.
Comment sections quickly filled with questions: Was this an old celebration? Was it uploaded by mistake? Is Tyson just toying with us all over again? Nobody seemed to have a clear answer, making the post go viral for its sheer oddness—if not for the boxing legend’s sense of humor.
The befuddling post comes just months after Tyson’s much-hyped return to the ring against Jake Paul in Arlington, Texas—a bout that saw Paul edge out the boxing great by unanimous decision, despite plenty of criticism over the 31-year age gap. Fans may have grumbled, but the numbers didn’t lie: 60 million Netflix households tuned in to watch, and 72,300 live fans packed into AT&T Stadium, helping the event gross a record-breaking $18 million at the gate.
Despite rampant speculation about another comeback, Tyson appears content to hang up the gloves for good. When recently asked about fighting again, he offered a typically wry response to Men’s Health:
“The only person I’m fighting now is my accountant. Other than that, I’m just living life and I’m doing good right now.”
Whether he’s posting throwback birthday videos or drawing record crowds, Mike Tyson continues to keep fans—and the internet—on their toes. At nearly 59, one thing’s for sure: Iron Mike still knows how to surprise.
