VIDEO: Could you even hit the board while playing darts blindfolded? Because Mike Tyson sure can. Watch him hit two bullseyes.

Tyson hits bullseye blindfolded

MOVE over Simon "The Wizard" Whitlock, there's a new king of the dart board on the horizon.

Well, maybe. Check out former boxing great, sometime movie star and ear enthusiast Mike Tyson's form in the video above.

The former world heavyweight champion toed up to the line for a segment called "Celebrities Throwing Sharp Objects Blindfolded" on Fox Sports US show Crowd Goes Wild.

What happened next almost defies explanation.

Blindfolded, Tyson threw two bullseyes, all three of his shots hitting the board for a score of 55.

Cue shock, awe and amazement from the live studio audience.

Far from the brash Tyson of old, the now clean-living 47-year-old looked almost bashful as he thanked the crowd for their applause.

And then he reminded us that he was, indeed, still Mike Tyson.

"I'm a shaolin monk. Didn't I come in here and tell you I'm a shaolin monk!"

In any case, it looks like the once most-feared man in the ring also makes a pretty mean darts player.

And at least it keeps him away from the microphone:
