We were all there at the tail end of 2015 when Mike Tyson busted his tail in an epic backwards fall off a hoverboard. But where most of us saw comedy, one brave soul -- Vine user Ry Ry saw an opportunity.

We haven't seen a new Punch-Out!! game since 2009. And Tyson himself has been absent from the series since the game's 1990 re-release, which replaced the by-then-former champ with the fictional Mr. Dream. But thanks to Ry Ry, the dream of a new Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is now a reality (make sure you unmute the audio).

Thank you, Ry Ry. You are a hero to us all.
