Mike Tyson recently admitted he thought Hasbulla Magomedov was a baby when he picked him up during their playful interaction on the Hotboxin podcast. The viral clip shows Tyson holding Hasbulla, who is 3’4″ tall due to a growth hormone deficiency, and pretending to nibble on his ear—a signature Tyson move from his infamous boxing past.
During a recent appearance on The Art of Ward podcast, Tyson revealed he had no idea that Hasbulla, who was 20 at the time, was an adult. “I thought it was a baby,” Tyson said, explaining that his playful behavior was driven by his usual approach to children. He was surprised to learn Hasbulla was much older than he initially believed.
Despite the unusual encounter, Hasbulla enjoyed meeting Tyson and expressed interest in meeting again. Tyson, meanwhile, is gearing up for an upcoming boxing match with Jake Paul, emphasizing that his age won’t hinder his performance.
The light-hearted moment between Tyson and Hasbulla has captivated fans, blending humor with Tyson’s enduring reputation as a boxing legend.
