Mike Tyson and Snoop Dogg stood out as kids when they recently met the WWE legend: ‘Mike is a huge wrestling fan’

Professional wrestlers don’t realize how famous they are. In fact, Jake Roberts aka Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts didn’t realize how famous he was until Mike Tyson and Snoop Dog fan-boy were all over him!

During a chat with TalkSport, Diamond Dallas Page aka DDP revealed that when Snoop Dog and Mike Tyson visited an AEW show and saw WWE legend Jake Roberts.

“He and Snoop, they came on the show to do something with AEW and when Snoop saw Jake he was like ‘Oh my god, that’s Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts over there!’”

“We saw Mike come out of KTLA [TV station], he had just done the news program and Jake and I were going in. He saw me and said “DDP!” and gave me a huge hug. But then he saw Jake and he went crazy.

In fact, DDP revealed that Tyson and Roberts shared similar experiences during their careers. Therefore, the emotions Tyson went through when he saw his hero remain unmatched!

“Jake has been through some of the same things that Mike has been through. He gave us a double hug and he said ‘what you did with that documentary… Wow.’ Mike is a huge wrestling fan and Jake was one of his heroes, but he’s still Mike Tyson!” H/t TalkSport

Mike Tyson has apparently reached an agreement for a fight against Jake Paul

Apparently, Tyson and Paul have reached an agreement for a money fight. It was huge and sparked quite a bit of conversation in the combat sports world.

However, Tyson dismissed the idea of ​​such a boxing match in the near future. He added that he had not heard a word from anyone regarding the fight against either of the Paul brothers.

But, he is not completely opposed to the idea of ​​fighting with one of them. It probably won’t be anytime soon given that he’s previously denied agreeing to a match against Jake Paul.
