I thought Yip man movies are biographical,so when this "meeting" happened?or it's just a fictional story?

Lol it would be kind of funny if they would have had tyson fight a old man 😂 in tyons prime ipman would be like 70+ years old

Tyson was 6 years old when the real Yip Man died. Had he lived, Yip Man would have been 95 in Tyson's prime (1988).

I'm surprised no one has pointed this out. Ip man never fought Mike Tyson. That was Mike Tyson playing a character (Frank), not himself.

Yes, Mike Tyson is well known for having found a time machine in 2023 and travelled back in time to fight Ip Man.
