Boxer Mike Tyson does not only fear dogs but also loves them.
A viral video has recently gained widespread attention, featuring boxing legend Mike Tyson engaging in a unique encounter with an enormous dog.
Tyson, the former heavyweight champion, is presently training MMA powerhouse Francis Ngannou in preparation for their much-discussed crossover bout against Tyson Fury on October 28.
During one of their training sessions, an unexpected visitor, a large dog resembling a mastiff, entered the gym, but Tyson, famously known as the “Baddest Man on the Planet,” appeared unfazed. Instead of displaying any fear, he immediately approached the canine.
After gently petting the dog, Iron Mike proceeded to get down on all fours, rubbing his head affectionately against the dog’s head and even beneath its chin.
One fan who saw the video on social media remarked, “Mike is a courageous man… that’s probably the riskiest thing you can do, putting your face near a strange dog. Luckily, they seem to have a good boy on their hands!
The American icon also revealed that he used to let his tigers sleep in his bed next to him – but that their farts were unbearable.
But he also admitted that he had suffered injuries from a big cat – and a dog.
He said: “I was giving one a tetanus shot and they bit me.
“It was scared, he was scared. Six, seven stitches and it was over.
“Then my dog bit me.”
Meanwhile, he is trying to get Ngannou, 37, in shape to do in ten rounds what 31 of the Gypsy King’s career opponents have failed to do and put him out for the count.
But Tyson insists: “He has what it takes to knock out anything and anybody.
