Steven Seagal is an iconic action hero in the industry. He has been an influential figure in the action genre and many action heroes who have come after him including Scott Adkins consider him a big influence on their lives. He is also infamously known for never losing a fight or barely landing a scratch in any of his films.
But this all changed with one film where Seagal seems to have found a rival that equals his abilities. In one of his films, he is seen being overpowered by none other than the former World Heavyweight champion ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. This shocked fans and broke the myth that nothing can stop Seagal.
Mike Tyson Defeats The Legendary Steven Seagal in China Salesman
Steven Seagal is an influential action hero in the industry. He is one of the first Western Aikido masters and his fighting styles have been replicated by other action heroes in their films. His nonchalant attitude and the fact that no one seems to be able to even land a scratch on him has been a defining feature in all his films. But this changed in one of his recent films called China Salesman.
In one of the major action sequences in the film (on YouTube), he is seen battling the menacing and tough Mike Tyson. Seagal’s smooth and perceptive fighting style seems to be no match for Tyson’s rock-solid punches. Tyson shockingly defeats Seagal, which captivated fans and destroyed the myth that Seagal could never be overpowered by anyone.
This led to audiences commenting and hilariously lauding Tyson for defeating Seagal for the first time in movies ever. One fan named fuadiqbal1119w wrote, “Congratulations Tyson, you have defeated a human who never loses in a movie”.
Another fan named c523jw7 wrote, “Even Seagal knew no one was gonna buy him beating Mike Tyson…even in a movie produced and directed by him”. It seems fans are having a laugh at the silly legacy that Segal had which he broke for this film.
Steven Seagal Harassed Jenny McCarthy During The Auditions for Under Siege 2
Steven Seagal’s career is marked by a lot of controversies. He has fallen into hot waters due to some questionable remarks he has made throughout his life. One actress, Jenny McCarthy opened up about his lurid behavior during her auditions for one of Seagal’s films. While auditioning for Under Siege 2, the actor constantly tried to get the actress to sit next to him. She told Sirius XM,
“He keeps bragging and bragging about himself, and watching out of one eye to see if I take the bait. So he says to me then, ‘You know, this part has nudity in it, and I can’t really tell what your body looks like in that dress you’re wearing'”
It is really disheartening to hear such intolerable behavior from an actor like Seagal. It is indeed a bold move from McCarthy to have come out and let the world know of what happened to her.
