People think time travel has been captured in this footage of Mike Tyson

Hmmm, we're not sure about this.

Some old footage of Mike Tyson fighting has gone viral because people think it shows a time traveller. 

In the footage from 1995, a person in the audience watching Mike Tyson’s fight can be seen using what looks like a smartphone. Now, the first smartphone with a camera wasn’t released until 2000 so people think that the person is a time traveller.

YouTube AllThings Creepy has tried to figure out a logical reason for this and thinks it could just be a camcorder that looks like a phone, like this one for instance:

The gadget in the photo doesn’t match it exactly but it’s very close so it’s not necessarily this camcorder but it’s more than likely another type of camcorder which was available at the time rather than a time traveller.
