Ali, who died aged 74 in 2016, was a household name with his incredible fighting technique and confident manner.
Tyson himself was once considered to be the best heavyweight around, with punters even dubbing him the “Baddest Man on the Planet.”
But both Tyson and Ali paid homage to each other when they appeared on a US talk show in 1989.
Joining fellow boxing icon Sugar Ray Leonard on the Arsenio Hall show, Tyson and Ali both named each other as victors if they met in a hypothetical fight.
And on an episode of his podcast Hotboxin’, the encounter was brought up by Tyson’s guest, rapper Cordae.
He said: “It was like some talk show and you were like, still even to this day I like it, you were in the middle of your prime, it’s safe to assume.
“And they was like, who would win between you two and you was like ‘man every head must bow, every tongue must profess, this man is the greatest of all time’.”
This reminder saw Tyson begin to shed tears as he reflected on Ali’s influence over his own boxing career.
