Mike Tyson pays possible homage to boxing idol Muhammad Ali with Halloween costume choice for 2023

Mike Tyson is in the Halloween spirit as he recently shared a photo of his costume, which could possibly be a way of paying homage to his boxing idol, Muhammad Ali.

The former heavyweight boxing champion took to his X account, where he posted a photo of his costume, along with a caption. He dressed up as a bee for this year's Halloween and included a clever caption.

He wrote:

"Happy Halloween. Bee the force that cannot bee stopped."

Tweet regarding Halloween costume

The costume could possibly be a homage to his idol Muhammad Ali as one of the boxing legend's most memorable quotes was 'float like butterfly, sting like a bee.' 'Iron' flexing in the photo while wearing his bee costume and cleverly writing about being a force could be referencing that quote.

Fans also weighed in and noted that there could be a reference to Ali, especially with his caption. They reacted by quoting the boxing legend and complemented Mike Tyson on his Halloween costume.

Here are some of the top comments:

Reaction to the tweet

It will be interesting to see whether Mike Tyson confirms whether his costume was in fact a reference to Muhammad Ali.
