To give you an idea of how untouchable he is, not even Mike Tyson could put fear in his heart.
Someone tried to step to MJW?! Listen, when played Mike Tyson in the TV movie an interviewer asked if he was worried Tyson wouldn’t like his portrayal. MJW was like, “nah been training and fighting in martial arts since I was 10. He want me he can find me.”

Luckily for this Chicago Wind wannabe, the crowd saved him from writing a check his hands couldn’t cash.
The celeb in question owes his life to a few brave men who stepped in between, including a retired NBA player 😂
