A guy heading to Las Vegas on his motorcycle over the weekend says he had a close call with a cab ... and a boxing legend.

Ryan Chesley was on his way to Sin City when a cab cut him off on the freeway and led to his taking a dangerous spill on the side of the road, according to TMZ.

What happened next is where it gets weird.

Chesley says former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson saw the whole thing and immediately pulled over to help, stopping traffic and then working to keep Chesley calm until paramedics arrived.

Chesley reportedly suffered multiple injuries, including broken bones, nerve damage and a shoulder that will need surgery. He told the gossip site he intends to send Tyson a thank you card and a gift basket.
