Boxing legend Mike Tyson and comedian Kevin Hart have had a great professional relationship throughout the years. However, this did not stop the former heavyweight champion from botching Hart’s name on his podcast Hotboxin.

In an episode with comedian Leslie Jones and Steelo Brim, the three were having a conversation about ‘cancel culture’ and its effects on stand-up comics. Jones stated that she told her assistant to scout through her old tweets and see if she had posted anything that could cause a backlash. She did this due to Hart facing heavy backlash for some of his older tweets that many considered offensive. “Because when they went back and looked at Kevin Hart’s. I literally told my assistant, I said please go back and see what the f**k I was posting 10 years ago and she was like nothing but gigs she was like just gigs and sometimes a funny video.” Said Jones.

This was a hilarious moment of lapse by The Baddest Man On The Planet, who ended up unintentionally misspeaking while praising the stand-up comedian.
