The time Mike Tyson and Adam Wilks got lost

Wilks recalled the time the two of them were travelling from Switzerland to Germany. A sudden unexpected thunderstorm led to the shutting down of the airports. Confused with all the mess, they missed their next flight which would have taken them to Amsterdam. At 1 am in the morning, without being left with many options, the duo decided to call on a random taxi to drive them to Amsterdam. As luck would have it, the highway was closed halfway and they had to get down at an unknown little town. Walking into a gas station, they had not anticipated what would happen next.

“We go to a gas station, walk into this gas station. I’ll tell you, I’ve seen anybody faint in front of me before. This lady starts taking in, I guess German. I don’t know what she was saying she said ‘Mike Tyson?’. And Tyson goes ‘Yes’. And this lady, her eyes roll back and she just fell back. Scared the sh*t out of me. But she gets back up and it’s totally fine. But it’s the moment. It was just such an epic moment.” The incident scared Wilks out of his senses. His first time seeing a person faint in front of his eyes, he was helpless. The woman got back up eventually though and was fine. Seems like another side effect of colossal popularity.

Mike and crazier fan interactions

The Germany incident might have horrified the duo but it is mostly Tyson who is known to teach an unforgettable lesson to overly zealous fans. On a flight to Florida, A fellow passenger was harassing ‘The baddest man on the planet’ and did not stop even after a composed Tyson asked him to calm down.
