And he picked up the TikToker, cradling him like a baby and even nibbling his ear – but little did Tyson know that Hasbulla is actually an adult.

He told boxing great Andre Ward: “I thought it was a baby! And then he started punching me…that’s how I am with children.

“I was hugging on this guy, and he’s like 26 years old. I knew nothing at all!”

Hasbulla, 22, has shot to fame for his viral videos online amassing eight million followers on Instagram.
