Serena Williams’ swan song at the U.S. Open was underway on Monday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which was filled with high profile figures from Bill Clinton and Dr. Ruth to Martina Navratilova, her dog, and Mike Tyson sitting…together?
Yes, you read that last part right.
The ESPN cameras found the all-time tennis great sitting with her dog next to the eccentric and controversial boxing legend — making for quite the odd couple sighting.
Of course, they were not there together, at least we assume. Because if they were, well, we are going to need the backstory on how they became friends.
Naturally, with such an odd duo sitting next to each other like that, social media had a field day as the celebrity sighting quickly went viral.
And if the unusual duo (or trio with the dog!) was not enough, some on social media noted how Iron Mike was apparently disrespected by the broadcast as they mentioned Navratilova’s presence but failed to recognize Tyson.
