Mike Tyson Confesses to Mistaking Hasbulla for a Baby During Viral Encounter

Mike Tyson recently revealed that he mistakenly thought Hasbulla was a baby during their now-famous encounter on the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast. In a viral clip, Tyson can be seen playfully blocking punches from Hasbulla, who is 22 years old and has dwarfism due to a growth hormone deficiency, before lifting him like an infant and pretending to nibble on his ear.

Reflecting on the incident during an appearance on The Art of Ward podcast, Tyson admitted, “I thought it was a baby… I was hugging on this guy, and he’s like 26 years old. I knew nothing at all!” Despite the unusual situation, Hasbulla expressed enthusiasm about the encounter, stating he would like to do it again soon and that their next meeting would be “even bigger.”

Tyson’s comments come as he prepares for an upcoming boxing match against Jake Paul on November 15. The 58-year-old boxer emphasized that he doesn’t feel his age during training and feels capable of competing against younger opponents. He remarked, “You can’t compare me with other people my age because other people my age haven’t been training as long, consistently as me.” Tyson described himself as a “different species of human being” and assured fans that the fight would be an entertaining event in Dallas.
