Have you ever heard that someone trolled Mike Tyson in front of him and escaped the wrath of the former champion? If not, then you have heard it correct this time. The comedy queen, Amy Schumer, once trolled ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’ over his iconic face tattoo. She even compared the face of Tyson with the saying, “like Patrice’s Grandmother after a Gospel Brunch.”

The youngest heavyweight champion ever once took to the comedy show named ‘Roast of the Charlie Sheen’ as a leading guest. Interestingly, the American standup, Schumer, who was leading the comedians, started first and dared to target the spotlight of the show ‘Iron’ Mike.

She began roasting Tyson with these words, “Mike here’s something you’ll never hear a great tattoo. You have a s***** lower-back tattoo on your face. I don’t know whether to be scared of it or finish on it. Look at that face. It’s so dark and wrinkly and constantly getting pounded. It’s like Patrice’s grandmother’s after a Gospel brunch. I’m just assuming she raised you.”

However, Kid Dynamite, who never tolerates insulting remarks, burst out laughing. He went gaga over each word said by Schumer while roasting.
