It is quite unusual to find a man willing to wrestle a bear. To be precise, one can risk their life confronting a bear that is bigger than them. However, in the video, the man remains as cool as a cucumber while the bear approaches him. Once the duo are in proximity, they lock their hands and start wrestling. While the act is dangerous in itself, it is simultaneously hilarious to see how the bear and the man wrestle. Undoubtedly, the undisputed featherweight champion could not hold her laugh.
