Tyson had sung lyrics from the Bon Jovi song “You Give Love a Bad Name,” which is far from rap music. The exchange between the two became the highlight of the podcast and prompted some humorous reactions from fans.

Here’s how fans reacted to the exchange:

“I would never correct such a man.”

Some fans jokingly mentioned that Tyson might not actually be aware of where he was in space and time.

“Dana didn’t know Mike was actually at a Bon Jovi concert in that moment.”

Others made hilarious comments about how they would agree with whatever Tyson said.

“You give love a bad name! Whatever you say, Mr. Tyson, sir.”

Some even referenced the hit sitcom, ” It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” with dialogue from the show.

“I think you’ll find it’s Mister Bovine Joni, actually”

Most fans were impressed with how Dana White handled being the one to correct Tyson.

“Dana might be the only human on this earth who’d correct Iron Mike, and for that, you gotta respect him, lol.”

“I don’t got the ba**s to correct Mike. ‘You give love a bad name’ is now considered a rap song.”

“Yeah, I would’ve been like, ‘Oh, Bon Jovi was the greatest rapper alive. I ain’t stupid, especially with Mike in the building, 😂.'”

In the end, this lighthearted moment provided fans with entertainment and showcased the charismatic personalities of both Tyson and White, creating a memorable podcast episode.

While Tyson may have retired from the sport of boxing, his influence on the combat sports community remains significant. Recently, Tyson announced that he would be in the corner of former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou for his fight against Tyson Fury. This bout is for the prestigious ‘Riyadh Champion’ belt, a WBC commission title. It marks another historic crossover super fight, reminiscent of the Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather bout.

Tyson has expressed confidence in Ngannou’s ability to secure victory against Fury, stating, “He has one hard punch, and when it lands, it’s game over.” Tyson is eager to support Ngannou’s transition from the octagon to the boxing ring, emphasizing Ngannou’s status as a world champion. The key, according to Tyson, is for Ngannou to harness his energy, combat skills, agility, and knockout power to secure the win.
