When some people remember Mike Tyson, they remember boxing. Other people tend to remember his bizarre behavior.
After all, Tyson did bite off a piece of Evan Holyfield’s ear during the flight in 1997. It’s not much of a stretch to think that he would continue with his ear-biting personality.
That is where a viral Internet personality, Hasbulla, comes in. They met on a podcast run by Tyson, Hotboxin’, and it wasn’t long before things started to heat up.
Even though Hasbulla is just a young child, the two of them were really going at it in the studio. Hasbulla put on a pair of gloves, and it wasn’t long before he even got a shot that Tyson was not able to block.

It wasn’t so much the fact that Tyson was sparring with a young child, it’s the fact that he took things a little bit further. After Hasbulla got a shot in, Tyson picked him up and pretended like he was chewing on his ear.
This wasn’t only a bizarre thing to see. It actually was a bit reminiscent of his previous history when he bit off another boxer’s ear.
Of course, there were plenty of comments on the situation:
Mike wanted to nibble on the ear so bad 😭😂

He had to fight the urge. “This ear could be mine.”

Despite the fact that he did chew on Evan Holyfield’s ear several decades ago, it was a moment that many people remember. That was a violent bout during the heavyweight championship, but this was just a friendly meeting between Tyson and an Internet sensation.
