Many of his opponents claimed that his punches felt like hand grenades exploding on them as they succumbed to the strength of ‘Iron Mike’.

In a shocking video released back in 2021, a man is seen taking out an actual hand grenade during a street fight. The absurdity of the clip made it viral in just a few days after it was released and has now resurfaced and made rounds on the internet.
