Mike Tyson and Dana White share a deep bond where both have expressed their admiration and respect for the other. Previously, during his appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Tyson had claimed that he cannot say anything wrong about White. It’s a two-way street since White takes care of the former world champion and has helped him through tough times. Dana had even offered ‘Iron Mike’ a TV show out of compassion for the boxer.

Recently, as the UFC president Dana White appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson as a guest, he revealed details about an incident that had taken place. The situation is from the time Tyson was about to engage in a widely anticipated exhibition bout against another legendary boxer, Roy Jones Jr. In consideration of the former boxer’s health, White offered him a show. Ironically, the show’s creature turned out to be more dangerous than Jones Jr.

Dana White and Mike Tyson recall the shark incident

It all began after White mentioned not wanting Tyson to face Roy Jones Jr. prior to their bout back in 2020. Although later, he also implied that Tyson and Jones Jr may have made a ton of money from the fight. This led ‘the Baddest Man on The Planet’ to joke, “But listen he didn’t want me to fight but he gives me a job f***ing with some sharks.”

This prompted White to recall the entire situation. White got Tyson an offbeat job: co-hosting Shark Week and diving into the Bahamas’ water for some shark interaction. The owner of Power Slap further recalled, “So apparently when Mike went down there and he gets down there he freaked out a little bit from what I heard. I wasn’t there, this is second hand I heard, he scared the sh*t out of the whole crew that was shooting the Shark Week then.”

Tyson revealed, “I said motherf*ker if I get bit, and if it’s not too severe, I’m gonna come and kill all you motherf*kers.” Moreover, in the end, ‘Kid Dynamite’ agreed and stated, “But I’m scared to death.”
