Mike Tyson may have experienced harder knocks during his time as a champion heavyweight boxer, but he probably wasn't expecting one when he rode his daughter's hoverboard.

Footage shows Tyson, 49, taking a tumble when he tries to use a hoverboard indoors.

Despite his young daughter urging him to be careful, the former heavyweight champion slams to the ground.

Posting the video on Twitter, Tyson said: "Seemed like a good idea to ride my daughter #milantyson #cyboard #hoverboard but guess not..."

His fall proved popular on social media with thousands of shares.
