Motorcyle rider Ryan Chesley opened up to TMZ about a horrific motorcycle incident he had recently which involved boxing champ Mike Tyson. 

Nope, Tyson wasn't the culprit that caused the accident. Instead, the former boxer and actor was Chesley's guardian angel.

Chesley shared that he was riding his motorcycle on his way to Las Vegas when a cab cut him off and consequently ran him off the road.

He shared that the boxing icon saw the whole accident, stopped his car in mid-traffic and leaped out of his vehicle to help Chesley.

Realizing that Chesley might be in shock or could have possibly have had injuries, Tyson tried to keep him calm as they waited for paramedics to arrive. 

The motorcycle rider is currently suffering from broken bones, torn ligaments and nerve damage. Chesley will also be needing shoulder surgery. 

Chesley shared that when he is able to, he intends to send Tyson a thank you note and a fruit basket for his good deed.

News of Tyson's good deed comes as a much needed redemption from his usual controversial antics and past behaviour.

In the late 1980s, he made headlines when his former wife, actress Robin Givens, shared with the world that Tyson was a wife beater. In the late 1990s, the boxer again made news when he got disqualified in a boxing match for biting off fellow boxer Evander Holyfield's ear.

Just last week, Tyson was filmed cursing at a Canadian TV host after the said host had mentioned the boxer's rape conviction during a live interview to promote his one-man show "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth".

Tyson was arrested in 1991 for the rape of 18-year old Desiree Washington, Miss Black Rhode Island. 
The following year, Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison followed by four years probation. He was released in March 1995 after serving three years. 

He called the Canadian host "a piece of sh*t" and stated that he didn't care that the interview was live and couldn't be edited.

"What are you going to do about it?" Tyson added.
