Mike Tyson had a prime seat for the Aug. 26 fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor, but unfortunately, the majority of his view was blocked by LeBron James.

In an interview with Sirius XM's "The Whoolywood Shuffle," the boxing legend explained how he had to watch the fight from the Jumbotron because he was seated directly James.

"He's around 10-foot tall, so when he stood up, I looked up at the fight on the ceiling," Tyson said (starts at the 3:15 mark). “They had the little tubes on the ceiling, so I was watching the ceiling. I'm like, 'God, this guy's tall.'"
