Mike Tyson had a surprising revelation at the ESPYs on Wednesday when he learned that Shohei Ohtani, the biggest star in Major League Baseball, is a man.
The legendary boxer was on stage with Jake Paul and DJ Khaled to present the award for best single-game performance.
When Khaled read that Ohtani sent "his gratitude and appreciation" for the win, Tyson's jaw dropped.
As the crowd applauded for the absent Dodgers slugger, a hot mic caught Tyson asking Paul, "Shohei's a guy?"
Paul nodded and appeared to say yes.
Ohtani won the award for his Game 4 performance in the 2025 NLCS, where he hit three home runs and struck out 10 batters, earning worldwide attention.
While Tyson isn't known as a baseball fan, the moment highlighted the global reach of Ohtani's stardom — even if it took a live awards show for Iron Mike to catch up.
