Tyson encountered a fan with a gun in his hand
‘Kid Dynamite’ decided to attend a small open mic in Los Angeles, when a comedian recognized the boxer and vehemently challenged him to a fight. At one point, according to TMZ, he even pulled out a gun from his waist and threatened all the people around. Interestingly, Tyson didn’t get fazed one bit, despite being technically held at gunpoint.
There was a certain desperation in the man’s voice as he was heard saying, “All I need is you.” After some time, the man put the gun away, and the Brooklyn native offered him a hug. Tyson did not lose his cool, and was calm the entire time, as he’s seen it all back in his childhood. He’s also been held at gunpoint before by his former trainer, Teddy Atlas.
