The former heavyweight champion is regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time. However, even among the greats, ‘Iron Mike,’ stood out. You wonder why? Well, Tyson was and continues to be a larger-than-life figure. A figure that captivated the public at large, not solely with the ferocious style of fighting but also his intimidating aura.

What happens when someone is a reluctant guest at Mike Tyson’s household?

The cross-over between Anwar Jibawai and Tyson was quite unexpected, to say the least. However, it is a cross-over we didn’t know we needed. Jibawai is an American-Palestinian internet personality and quite a famous one. He boasts more than 14 million followers on Instagram which is nothing to scoff at. Moreover, he made headlines in the boxing world after his hilarious skit with none other than, ‘Iron Mike.’ In the hilarious skit, Tyson and Jibawai happen to be neighbors. While Commuting back home, Jibawai crossed paths with Tyson who pleasantly asked Jibawai to hang out with him. However, a reluctant Jibawai told him, “Mike, I told you I am busy all week.” But you can’t say no to ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, can you? Tyson  vehemently stated, “Come over, now.” And the next thing you know, Jibawai was at his home.

Why did Tyson kick Jibawi out of his house?

After the two started hanging out with each out, Tyson asked Jibawai to eat his “secret” sandwich. However, Jibwai was having a hard time consuming it. Moreover, the two were seen playing video games on a console. However, it took a hostile turn after Tyson got distracted by his daughter and Jibwai seized the opportunity to defeat him in a game that they were playing at that moment. This irked the retired boxer to a great extent and that resulted in the internet personality being kicked out.
