Mike Tyson landed in Britain on Sunday and cleared immigration after being given the green light to enter the country by Home Secretary Jack Straw.
The former world heavyweight champion is in the country to fight Julius Francis on the 19th of January in Manchester before a 21-thousand sellout crowd.
Tyson won his first battle on Thursday when U-K government officials decided to let him into the country despite protests over a 1992 rape conviction.
However, anti-rape campaigners are reported ready to ask the High Court for a judicial review of the government's decision with hopes of stopping the fight.
Security at Heathrow Airport was stepped up for Tyson's 5:25 p.m. arrival (1725 GMT) on the Concorde.
Police officers were assigned to greet the former champion and escort him to a London hotel.
Tyson is in the country for his latest fight, but his visit has sparked another battle.
As his plane landed, anti-rape campaigners said they were ready to ask the High Court to review
the government's decision with hopes of stopping the fight.
Justice for Women, a group which campaigns against domestic violence and sexual assault, was reported ready to ask the High Court for a judicial review of the government's decision to allow Tyson into the country.
It is expected to argue that Home Secretary Jack Straw acted beyond his powers by overriding immigration rules.
Fight promoter Frank Warren shrugged off the latest protest as he met the Tyson flight.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I'm unhappy with what we had to go through but you know it's obviously it's great for the fight, but it's not caused us to sell anymore tickets because we were sold out before Christmas."
SUPER CAPTION: Frank Warren, Fight promoter
Tyson was allowed into Britain after Home Secretary Jack Straw cited "special circumstances" in admitting him.
He said he was moved by small businessmen in Manchester who stood to lose money, and ordinary fight fans hoping to see Tyson's first fight in Europe.
Anyone convicted of a crime that would carry a 12-month jail sentence in Britain is deemed unfit to enter the country unless they can show "compassionate reasons."
The controversy didn't stop hundreds of fans from turned up to greet the boxer on his arrival.
And despite the heavy security, Tyson was engulfed by a crowd of some 400 fans as he was swept through the airport and stepped into a black Mercedes.
The crush around Tyson was so intense that one man was shoved into the boxer's limousine.
Another women was knocked to the floor but was reported uninjured.
Tyson is reported to be receiving between 5-to-7 (m) million pounds (dlrs 8-11 million) for the fight.
Francis will pick up his biggest payday of 350-thousand pounds (dlrs 560,000).
If the fight were called off, Francis said he faced bankruptcy after spending between 50-thousand and 75-thousand pounds (dlrs 80,000-120,000) for sparring partners and training costs since the fight was announced a month ago.
Tyson was whisked from the airport to the capital's plush Grosvenor Hotel on Park Lane.

Man look at the aura he had, the whole airport wanted to see him never ever happens with a boxer even now he is still famous 12 years after retiring.
I heard Anthony Joshua was in the shopping mall that i was in... i didnt even bother, i saw instagram kids flocking to take pictures with some guy they dont know
I was at event where i was sitting close to Rafael Nadal, i wanted to beg him for picture so badly, but i couldnt... i was too shy , lol ... those are my real legends
@@TsarOfRuss I would do anything to meet with Mike though he's a legend for me
He didnt masturbate for 5 years, high vibration
@@TsarOfRuss wow that must’ve really got to AJ that u didn’t want a picture with him, he probably lost sleep at night
Tyson got to be the only guy who can come straight off a flight and walk through Heathrow Airport in dungarees and still be taken seriously.
No Wario can do that too
Damn , Those policemen have mike tyson as a bodyguard.
lol dawg i like you
😅😅👍👍👍
Lol the police were there protect any fool that might have bumped him.
So crazy to think Mike is 54 now. Time really does go by real quick
Wrong. He's 55 now
57
no he go to 58😢
baddest man on the planet
Mike is a Legend and amongst a controversial career stands with the greatest competitors of Time, had the instincts of knowing how to put away many professional boxers
Jesus even Mike Tyson look terrified soon as he hit the outside the English went nuts 🤣🤣🤣 he’s so many peoples hero
Wow! That's how I usually arrive to work.
The days when people stood closer
😂😂😂😂😂
Damn that’s a sad comment
@@TheOnni1 Really is, and what’s sadder is that the comment was made 10 months ago. This is really our life, now
Even now l would rather watch Tyson fight rather than the modern heavyweights of today. Boxing has died. That era will never come back.
Imaging coming of a plane after hours and people none stop shouting at u and taking pics with bright flash 💀
Klitchko mayweather and all of those can just be dreamin about love what mike was gettin.
Joshua will never have this legacy, sad reality. The highlight of Ruiz Joshua was Khabib walking into the arena lol.
@@hassan123456killa i like the old heavyweight division,mike even muhammad ali era,but now people are buisnessman and wont fight the best.thats why the sport is diying
Those athletes are very unique, him Mohammed Ali, Joe, Forman only few of them can reach that type of fame, you'll find the difference between two of them, both were from the same era, played together, like Tyson and Evander for example of even Ali and George, still not even quarter of the attention
Mayweather made more then double of what Tyson made what are you talking about?
@@hassan123456killa ya praise Tyson way too much like if he didn’t get beat by the biggest underdog in sports history
I don't admire people who lose their self control, like those people.
I'd love to meet Tyson, but I wouldn't be pushing and shouting.
Nobody even bothered when Mayweatrher came lol
just sunny Big Issue Sir? :D

When we talk about Mike Tyson
Jesus the Beatles have arrived

Складывается впечатление что Майк Тайсон немного стеснительный))
I was 27 then remember this like yesterday
Amir Khan was airport last week no one even went up to him lol
Unreal chaos! Man was a king fo real
That one lady in the blue coat was trying to get a picture and her camera was not even on ahaha sad
Live love and leave a legacy
Look at the English security guys haha, there fuck here comes the real fuckin deal iron mike Tyson, and I'm just a steroid using pumped up bodybuilder 😂😂😂😂
The last fight Im aware that Julius Francis was invovled in was unlicienced boxing for the title of the ' Guvnor ' vs some guy called Decca. Julius was 52 years old and the fight was a fuckin pharse..........a bit like a lot of his pro career he hugely underachieved.
Man that shit is crazy
He was machine to kiling bet of the all world
one dislike sure jealousy
Mayweather
Even if you pay me I wouldn't watch Mayweather fights
Mike look like he just got off the slopes
Best fighter in the world that time
Can anyone imagine wilder having that much adulation? Exactly... that’s the difference between someone who’s probably the most likeable person in sport, compared to the least popular in sports... ever!
I love Mike Tyson he may not be the greatest boxer of all time BUT he’s one of the greatest boxers of all time and the 2nd most iconic boxer then Muhammad Ali is the most iconic boxer
People who say he’s not great are just haters talking out their ass or they’re just delusional and don’t know anything about boxing all they know is records and say omg this person has the best record so he’s the greatest 💀💀 𝙒𝙍𝙊𝙉𝙂 please they don’t know shit from a calculator to a damn book! 💀
@@Lonelysportofboxing watch the early fights. ‘85-‘88. Maybe up to 1990. Nobody moved like him since, or maybe before. I remember this time. Everyone was obsessed with him, and rightly so too. He’s limped on through life with all his ‘injuries’ and learnt from them all. Now he’s a wise man that’s experienced all of life’s emotions to the fullest. That’s what living life is all about. In 100 years time people will still remember Mike Tyson
@@jimmychooquay oh trust me man I know! I’ve did my research from his background childhood life too his later life too now and not many people could manage too his through what he’s went through imagine going from a street kid who’s been in gangs too a philosopher , entertainer, motivational speaker, actor , film producer , businessman ect that’s why I see something special in Mike Tyson he’s the definition of a fucking fighter he’s my admiration
Check-in man: Can I see your passport M..... Okeyyyy....
Goddamn what a life every man dream of
Ol fish eyes
That’s insane…….If you look carefully at the beginning when he’s walking through the airport he acknowledges all the black people to the side of him
I remember when Mike came to brixton
Mayweather in the dislikes

What a barbarians
Tyson was exciting and a great boxer but I would put him in the top 10 although I prefer to watch him fight than all boxers except Ali. Mens obsession with Tyson is that they all wish to be intimidating and feared as the baddest man on the planet. Which he was in his time and he is more inteligent than people think. But personally I think he is an ass.
whats the point of this clip..so what
it shows how much uk fans love Iron Mike
Woow fans go crazy hahaha
The Greatest!
The Woman thinking she was running the Show .
What is wrong with humans and there adulation of an other person. Grown men and women screaming and straining to see someone. Mass hysterical lunacy.
Dam he flew the conord never new that
