Mike Tyson gets a gun pulled on him in a comedy show

Iron Mike recently had a not-so-pleasant experience at a comedy club in Hollywood. Tyson was approached by a man who reportedly pulled a gun on him while he was enjoying the show with his friends. According to TMZ, the man even challenged the former heavyweight champion to a fight and pulled a gun after the host requested him to leave.

However, the man would make a wise choice and put the gun away and even asked Tyson not to call the cops on him. Iron Mike then had a chat with the gunman and embraced him with a hug. Moreover, the police never received any call about the incident suggesting that the issue was solved right then. Tyson is a native of Brooklyn and grew up in a neighborhood filled with violence. Thus, it was no surprise he remained calm and composed during this altercation.
