Mike Tyson shoots down Chef Roble hoax

Mike Tyson has shot down Chef Roble Ali’s hoax after the Bravo star fashioned a fake threat from the boxing champ against him. While the Bravo chef certainly has a knack for capturing Tyson’s unique eloquence in phony texts he posted on Instagram, both camps say it certainly was not Tyson sending the jokey missives.

Tyson’s rep told us, “Mike has never heard of this chef nor would he write anything like this.”

It all started when Roble posted a photo of Tyson gently holding two pigeons face-to-face. He captioned the image “Now Kith,” to poke fun of Tyson’s characteristic lisp.

Roble then faked a return text from “Tyson,” reading, “How you do there Mr. funny man? You think that [bleep’s] funny making fun of my speech impediment? You know we always been cool when I see you in Brooklyn right? Well that [bleep] is over.

“I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember that game ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch Out’ but either way I’m gonna [beep] you up when I see you like I did that little white boy in the game. You hear me you ostrich looking skinny cheffin’ punk? Laugh now, cry later.”

In the next supposed text from the pugilist, Roble’s fake Tyson went on as if he was friends with the chef.

“Alright Roble you know I’m just [bleeping] with your punk ass right? you was scared as [bleep] weren’t you???? I wouldn’t even put the paws on your frail ass cause if I punched you one time you would shatter like a champagne glass against a brick wall. [Bleep] wouldn’t even be fair. If would be like fighting a girl.

“Anyways I want you and your crew to come out to Vegas soon and cater a party for me at the crib. Also, you’re a [bleep] for not picking up the phone but I would do the same thing if I were you. Peace my dude.”

Roble responded, “Hey Champ. How you doin my man?? I’m glad you have a good sense of humor and can take a joke. I was going to answer the phone but I didn’t because I was in shook and I’m not a [bleep] for that because you’re Mike [bleeping] Tyson okay?!? LoL!”

Perhaps the Bravo chef is simply suffering from a case of a split personality.
