‘I Thought It Was A Baby’
Heavyweight boxing legend Mike Tyson vs. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul finally goes down in 11 days (Fri, Nov. 15, 2024) from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, live on a historic Netflix broadcast.
Recently, “Iron Mike” sat down with the All The Smoke Fight podcast, and he opened up about the now super embarrassing viral clip of him kissing and nibbling on social media sensation Hasbulla Magomedov’s ear (rewatch the embarrassment here).
“I thought it was a baby. I thought it was a baby,” said Tyson. “And then when he was punching me, I didn’t know. I don’t know, man. That’s how I am with children. I was hugging on this guy. He’s like 26 years old...No, No [I wasn’t playing it up for the camera.]

Nevertheless, Tyson returns to action for the first time since his ho-hum exhibition draw against Roy Jones Jr in 2020,
