Mike Tyson has unsurprisingly received a lot of attention ahead of his boxing return against Jake Paul as one of the biggest stars in the sport's history. However, 'Iron' has not been completely adept at returning the love he has been given.

A recent video surfaced on social media showed Tyson walking through a crowd full of fans showering the former heavyweight with praise. Of them, one particular superfan attempted to get the boxer's attention by showing the tattoo he has on his arm of Tyson's face.

Instead of acknowledging the tattoo, the 57-year-old walked by without even turning his head.

Some believed that Tyson simply did not see the fan while many others assumed that he was on substances that clouded his judgment. Other fans commented:

"Boy was waiting his whole life to show him"
"That hurt to watch NGL"
"Mike probs too high to even realize it's him"
