“My boy just got beat up by Mike Tyson,” the man recording the video can be heard saying, “He got f—–d up.”

He then reportedly challenged Tyson to a fight. Though the latter kept his calm and let the man talk, the host of the night reportedly told him to leave. This angered the man, who threatened to shoot the host. He then pulled out a gun from his waistband. Tyson handled the situation well. He not only remained calm but also hugged the man.
