You never know what kind of response you might get Mike Tyson if you ask him a question, and it doesn’t matter how old you are. A young interviewer found that out in a very real way this week.

The child, who appears to be no older than 13, spent one-on-one time with Tyson on Wednesday before or after the match. press conference to promote his Netflix boxing match with Jake Paul. What could have (and even should have) been a fun, light-hearted interview took an unexpectedly dark turn when she asked Tyson about his heritage. Things got a little too deep for a child of his age!

Here is his question: “By returning to the ring for this fight, you are providing a monumental opportunity for kids my age to see the legend Mike Tyson in the ring for the first time. What kind of legacy would you like to leave behind when all is said and done? »

And here is the video of Tyson’s response (via):

Whoever convinced Tyson to agree to this interview didn’t expect it to turn out like this. Talking about death and dropping F-bombs in an interview with a little girl? Yeah !

Maybe Tyson forgot the moment he was talking to a child.
