Tyson, 59, has smashed countless rivals in the ring in his career but is now battling a different kind of foe.
Asked why he does not wear socks, Tyson revealed he is suffering from foot fungus.
Tyson said: “This drives me crazy, I’ll be honest.
“I only used to for fighting where that was my image. It was real hardcore, no socks.
“But then, I somehow discovered that I had a disintegrating dose of foot fungus.
“And it was really bad. It’s still really bad now.”
Kimmel then asked the retired brawler, “Would you say that foot fungus is your greatest opponent of all?”
To which Tyson added: “Well, I would have to say so because it’s still kicking my a** now.”
