Mike Tyson has opened up on his infamous meeting with Hasbulla.
Hasbulla has a form of dwarfism caused by growth hormone deficiency. He is 3 ft 3 in (99 cm) tall and weighs 44.1 lb (20 kg) but is a big personality and social media star.
One time he got to meet Iron Mike and the pair hit it off and went instantly viral after an impromptu spar led to Tyson picking up the Russian.

But, it turns out that the former baddest man on the planet actually thought he was a child.
Speaking to Andre Ward he said:
“I didn’t know, he was punching me. I don’t know, man. That’s how I am with children, I was hugging on this guy. He’s like 26 years old,” Tyson laughed.
When Ward probed whether Tyson was just putting on a show for the cameras, Tyson quickly shut that down, “No, no. I did not know that.”
Mike Tyson admits he thought Hasbulla was a baby when he first met him 😭
