A historic exchange between boxing legend Mike Tyson and rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs on a 1999 TV show is going viral.

Combs was arrested at a hotel in New York City on Tuesday and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was not granted bail.

The 54-year-old pleaded not guilty to all charges, with his lawyer claiming he is an 'innocent man'.

He was denied bail for a second time on Wednesday after a judge rejected his appeal.

A new video later emerged showing Combs being arrested at the hotel in Manhattan.

Now, footage from a 1998 interview involving Tyson and Combs has re-emerged on Twitter, and gone viral.

The year of 1998 was when Tyson was banned from boxing after his license was rescinded for infamously biting Evander Holyfield during a fight.

He appeared on an episode of the Keenan Ivory Wayans Show, with Diddy alongside him on the sofa.

The clip, which can be seen below, begins with Combs placing his hand close to Tyson's leg.

'Iron Mike' then holds up Diddy's hand, appearing to show to the host a ring that the rapper was wearing, before moving it on to Combs' own leg and shuffling forward on the sofa.

While the video has prompted a mixed response on social media in terms of comments, some fans believe that the exchange wasn't as awkward as others suggested.

One wrote: "He was talking about Diddy's ring and how much it cost, relating to Benjamins.

"You can see him looking down at his ring and holding Puff's hand when he says that."

And another suggested: "If you listen, he's talking about what's on his finger and his wrist, the drip, diamonds. 'It's truly about the Benjamins, as we see'."

SPORTbible has contacted Mike Tyson's representatives for comment.
