JAKARTA - Boxing legend Mike Tyson experienced a tense situation while watching a Hollywood comedy show on the rooftop of a bar recently. While enjoying the exciting atmosphere, Tyson was even held at gunpoint by an unknown person.

Quoted from SportBible, Mike Tyson and his entourage were busy watching a comedy show. At that time, the living legend of world boxing was in the front seat of the audience.

However, an unexpected event occurred. While laughing while watching the show, Mike Tyson was approached by an unknown person.

In the video adapted by TMZ's SportBible, the man appears to be grumbling. Witnesses reported that the man said he wanted to improve his status by challenging Mike Tyson, who recorded 44 KOs during his illustrious career.

But instead of panic or fear, Tyson's reaction was unexpected.

The legend responded to the unknown man casually and even flinched. The host who saw this incident immediately asked the stranger to stay away from Tyson.

Instead of being heard, the man threatened to shoot the host by pulling a gun from his belt.

"What are you doing? Get out of here. I'm not playing with you, get out of here," cried the panicked host.

Realizing the situation was not okay, the other spectators took cover by ducking under the table as the gun was cocked.

Meanwhile, Mike Tyson was still sitting quietly. He even tried to talk to the unknown man. The two of them then even engrossed in talking in the midst of the chaos that arose.

I don't know what the two of them were talking about, the tense situation turned into a relaxed one. Tyson and the man just hugged before the gunpointer left without hurting anyone.

Seeing Tyson's calm demeanor in an unexpected situation, a spectator cheered the legend and tried to hug.

The same source later also reported that this incident did not involve the local police (LAPD). Mike Tyson even left safely and relaxed with his friends shortly after the gunman left the bar.

This is not the first time Tyson has been threatened with a gun. The former coach of Teddy Atlas was also pointed at a gun when he was only 15 years old.
