Nobody would dare to make fun of Mike Tyson, often known as “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” in public. Tyson has demonstrated quite the attitude for accepting jokes about himself, despite his appearance and his absolute savagery in the ring. He even demonstrated his sense of humor by taking part in Comedy Central’s Charlie Sheen roast in the past. When a comedian recently appeared on his show, Tyson once again shown his ability to not take himself too seriously.

Comedian Tommy Davidson appeared on Mike Tyson’s podcast and shared a story about his experience performing stand-up comedy. Davidson discussed how he adopts the mindset of a boxer when performing and joked about the Sugar Ray Leonard bit. He discussed the challenges of choosing material, revealing that his set was being continuously edited by his manager due to jokes overlapping with other comedians.
However, he was able to improvise a sketch about Robin Givens being RoboCop, where she demands Mike’s wallet. The skit went like this: Givens first grabs Mike and says, “Mike, give me your wallet, you have 5 seconds to comply”. Mike replies, “I don’t know, I got nothing to give”. She replies, “You are going to do that”.
Tyson found the bit hilarious and fist-bumped Davidson in approval. The story ended with Davidson receiving a standing ovation and successfully concluding his set. Tyson’s reaction was positive and showed his appreciation for the improvised bit.

Davidson then did an impression of Sugar Ray’s voice.

Sugar Ray Leonard is considered one of the best boxers in history. Even Muhammad Ali has referred to him as his “Idol”.
