The boxer had amassed a sizable fan base and had become a global icon. But there are certain repercussions of becoming famous. For example, you can never predict how a fan will turn out to be. One such fan gave Tyson the fright of his life.

Tyson stated, “And the cop, the sergeant, wanted to talk to me. So I came outside, and I was talking to the guy, and he showed me the picture of me and the guy because it was on his website. And he said, “Do you know this gentleman?”
He further added, “And I said, ‘Well sir, I don’t know, I was rooting a fight, if I must have said something to him, if I offended him, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that.” And he said, “No, he liked you, Mr. Tyson. He didn’t like the 28 people that he shot and the 8 that he killed. He was the baseline shooter, from Phoenix, Arizona. Dale Hausner, he killed himself in prison.”
Iron Mike, who was unaware he was being interrogated by a psychopath, narrowly avoiding deadly encounter. However, the interviewer liked Tyson, as did the rest of the world.
