Mike Tyson sports skintight leather leggings and does his best Salt-n-Pepa to perform "Push It" in his Lip Sync Battle with Terry Crews

Push it real good! Mike Tyson is going all out for his upcoming match against Terry Crews on Spike TV's Lip Sync Battle. In a sneak peek of the episode released earlier this week, the former heavyweight champion goes for the knockout punch with a high-energy rendition of Salt-n-Pepa's inescapable 1987 hit "Push It," complete with lots of jumping and fist-pumping.

Tyson's commitment to the song is evident in his costume: skintight leather pants, high-tops, and a red and yellow varsity jacket adorned with the hip-hop group's trademark labels and patches. His actual lip-syncing skills aren't all that convincing, but what he lacks in precision, he more than makes up for in enthusiasm.

Crews, for his part, is a worthy competitor, as seen in a separate clip released on Wednesday, April 22. In it, the Brooklyn Nine-Nine star gets the crowd going with an impressive take on Run-D.M.C.'s 1984 hit "Sucker MC's."

"Hey, Mike and I have been friends for a long, long time. That's why it's gonna hurt me so bad when I destroy [his] ass!" Crews jokes in a pre-show tease.

Not content to let someone else get the last word, Tyson pipes in with his own trash talk. "Terry, tonight, your butt is grass, buddy," he quips. "You're a goner."

Lip Sync Battle airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. on Spike.
