Mike Tyson picked up Hasbulla and tried to nibble the internet sensation’s ear, in a bizarre video which has quickly gone viral.
The short clip also shows the 56-year-old boxer Tyson cuddling the TikTok creator like a baby, despite the Russian national being 20 years old.
Gaining over 5.6 million views on Twitter, fans have been hilariously reacting to the video in comments.
Of course, it’s not the first time Hasbulla has gone viral online.
The 3ft 4 (1.03m) blogger became an internet star when he began sharing videos of himself on social media, often mocking MMA fighters.

Due to his child-like appearance and dwarfism, which is caused by a rare type of Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD), Hasbulla immediately caught the attention of the public.
Since then, he has quickly gained a huge social media following with 6 million followers on Instagram alone.
He also went viral on TikTok last year, after he parodied MMA pro fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov’s iconic weight, earning himself the name ‘Mini Khabib’.
The blogger has been attending more and more celebrity events as his popularity continues to grow.

The now-viral moment happened as Hasbulla toured the US for the first time, with the content creator hanging out with the Nelk Boys during the LA leg of his trip.
As he visited Hotboxin' podcast studios on Tuesday, he also met host Tyson and even pretended to spar with the former heavyweight boxer.
After they’d been introduced, the TikToker threw mock jabs at Tyson who played along, by playfully ducking and shielding his face from the blogger.
However, it wasn’t long until the boxer’s infamously erratic behaviour started.
Without warning, Tyson then proceeded to pick him Hasbulla as if he were a child and even pretended to nibble his ear as he made a reference to his iconic fight with fellow athlete, Evander Holyfield.

Fans have been going wild in the comments about the former world champion’s behaviour, with one fan writing that ‘Mike is still going for the ear’.
Others quickly followed, with another writing: “One punch from Tyson…Hasbulla is gone”.
Whilst many of them found the clip hilarious, others felt bad for Hasbulla who is often belittled due to his size and childish look.
Several fans have pointed out that the internet sensation is actually an adult, with a former fan commenting: “Mike is under the impression this guys like 8”.
