Video: Mike Tyson wishes Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema happy birthday

Karim Benzema celebrated his 30th birthday in the same manner as everyone else, with a Bugatti Veyron cake, poolside fireworks... and a message of congratulations from Mike Tyson!

The boxing legend posted a video wishing Benzema, the Real Madrid forward, many happy returns: 'Hey Karim my brother, happy birthday,' Tyson, 51, said. 'Many, many more my brother, too bad you're not out here with us.'

Benzema has been one of Europe's most feared players for the last decade, scoring over 200 professional goals for Lyon and Real Madrid.

This season he has struggled for form, however, scoring only five goals in 19 matches in all competitions.
