Mike Tyson crashes into wall as he falls backward off a skateboard while filming with Tony Hawk 

Mike Tyson has always been a man of a danger. Oftentimes it is danger which fears the man himself. 

Though it seems Tyson should avoid skateboards altogether unless he plans on hitting the floor. 

The 56-year-old former heavyweight champion almost hit the deck while with skating legend Tony Hawk for his Hotboxin' with Mike Tyson podcast.

The former heavyweight champion fell backward and into a stool and wall before the chair

Jumping on the skateboard with child-like enthusiasm, Tyson slowly began to shift backward, almost prophetically uttering, 'Oh, I better stop this,' before his weight leant further back until he fell off the board altogether. 

As he started to completely lose his balance, Tyson knocked over a stool before banging into the wall and leather chair simultaneously. 

Thankfully for Tyson, the wall was not brick, as it looks, and rather a relatively malleable prop held up by timber framing.

The boxing icon smiled once he found the safety of the plush chair, pointing at the camera, seemingly thrilled.  

'I'm okay baby, nothing happened,' he said to a concerned female onlooker, presumably his wife, Lakiha Spicer. 

The footage was published to his Instagram with the hilarious caption; 'Lucky that chair was there or it would have been a repeat of the hoverboard scare.'

Tyson has hit the floor several times in his life, including in 1999 from a 'Buster' Douglas left

As Tyson references, It is not the first time he has been beaten by a board of some kind after a hoverboard left him down for the count in 2015. 

While being filmed, the champ tried out then-seven-year-old daughter Milan's pink set of wheels, which ended in similarly spectacular fashion.   

Perhaps a prophetic nature runs in the family as Milan was heard saying, 'Daddy I don't want you to fall off,' as he twirled around before wobbling.

Tyson similarly lost his balance and found himself without a chair, landing straight onto the floor.

Back in the day it was Tyson who delivered the knock out punches, not his daughter's toys!
