Iron Mike, Jake Paul and DJ Khaled presented the award for best single-game performance at Wednesday's event ... and when El Gallo said the Dodgers slugger sent "his gratitude and appreciation" for the win, Tyson's jaw dropped.
Right before the crowd clapped for Ohtani, who was not present for the ceremony, Tyson is heard on the hot mic asking his former boxing opponent if Sho-Time was really a dude.
The "Saturday Night Live" star/Wednesday night's host took the stage at the David H. Koch Theater in New York City ... and used the opportunity to throw silly zingers at Jake Paul, Jalen Brunson, the entire WNBA and more.
The biggest laughs of the 10-minute speech came at the expense of Tiger and Bill ... with Hernández joking the golf superstar will be on the cover of the next "Grand Theft Auto" video game, a clear shot at his March DUI rollover crash and arrest.
The ESPYs are here ... which means we get to see our favorite sports stars out of uniform and lookin' their best!
Simone Biles spoiled us by giving us a look at her gorgeous gams as she arrived at the David H. Koch Theater at NYC's Lincoln Center. She looked simply stunning in her champagne gown, which fabulously flaunted her assets.
Ilona Maherwas a wonder in white, dropping jaws in her strapless dress and showing the Big Apple just how sexy it is to be strong.
Before this lil' gymnast turned into an Olympic champion, she was just stretching and conditioning, looking up to Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson ... and competing in gymnastics when she was just a young kid ...

The 2026 ESPSYs are goin' down tomorrow, so we're throwin' it back to this ESPY winner, soccer legend Mia Hamm!
Hamm's soccer reign peaked from the 1990s through the early 2000s, cementing her status as one of the sport's all-time greats. Some of her standout accomplishments include winning two FIFA Women's World Cups, two Olympic gold medals, and five ESPY Awards.
Before this cute kid in green overalls was a 3-time ESPY winner, she was just starting to skii at 2 years old, admiring Olympic gold medalist ski racer Picabo Street and gearing up for the Olympics.
This talented star competed in five winter games and managed to grab one gold and two bronzes ... She took home two ESPSYs in 2010 and another in 2011.
ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller's colleagues are helping out after he lost his arm in a serious car accident earlier this month ... with names like Pat McAfee and Adam Schefter donating to his recovery.
Miller's loved ones are raising money to ease the financial burden the draft expert will face after multiple surgeries and impending rehab, medical care, travel, and prosthetic planning ... and the former Indianapolis Colts punter wasted no time contributing $5,525 to the cause.
The goal is now $55,000 total ... and Schefty, Pete Thamel, Jeremy Fowler, Mina Kimes, and more have also put up money for Miller's cause.
ESPN NFL draft scout Matt Miller is speaking out on surviving a devastating car accident last week ... revealing his left arm was amputated in order to save his life.
The analyst broke his silence on the crash early Tuesday morning ... telling his followers he's "incredibly fortunate to be writing this."
The accident happened around 4 PM in Jasper County, Missouri on June 17 ... when officials say Miller's 2023 Bronco crossed the center line and collided with a semi.
KOAM News Now published images from the scene ... showing Miller's totaled Bronco.
President Donald Trump is making it crystal clear he doesn't think Stephen A. Smith belongs anywhere near the Oval Office ... doubling down on his "low IQ" jab and turning their war of words up another notch.
In a fiery Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump unloaded on the ESPN personality, calling him everything from an "arrogant fool" to "dumb as a rock" while insisting Smith is completely unqualified to run for any political office.
Trump didn't stop there ... claiming Stephen would get demolished in a debate by even the most incompetent politicians and suggesting former President Joe Biden would look sharp by comparison.
Some Trumpsupporters are pissed the President got so little airtime at the NBA Finals compared to stars at MSG -- and it turns out that wasn't an accident.
ESPN sources tell TMZ ... Trump got due attention for this historical moment ... but he was also in a bulletproof box -- which ain't as easy to film as all the stars sitting courtside.
And we're told even if some of those stars have been critical of Trump -- they are also die-hard fans and fixtures at big games, so they're getting more exposure. Bottom line -- it wasn't political!
The Celtics star went on his live stream over the weekend to address comments made about him by the ESPN personality ... and in a clip you're going to have to see to believe, he made it pretty clear he and SAS are far from good.
JB said of Smith talking trash about him ... “F--- Stephen A ... Stephen A, Stephen B, Stephen C. My offer still stands: You want me to be quiet and stop streaming ... well I want you to be quiet and get off these networks. Because you’re not using your platform to do real journalism.”
Stephen A. Smith says he wants to run for president of the United States, but there's one enormous roadblock ... MONEY!
TMZ Sports caught up with the ESPN star, who previously told us he had no interest in running, during Kenny Smith's The FlyHouse All-Star Bash presented by Resorts World in Los Angeles, who told us straight up, "The country sucks."
"I think the country is devoid of leadership, the kind of leadership we have, we don't need. The kind of leadership we should be getting, nobody is stepping up and doing. I don't desire to be a politician, but in the same breath, the opportunity to go on a debate stage and call out these politicians for the things that they've done to damage this country is something that very much appeals to me," SAS told us matter-of-factly.
One of college football’s most iconic voices may be facing his toughest battle yet: Lou Holtz is reportedly in hospice care.
Holtz, 89, is one of the most accomplished coaches the game has seen ... forever tied to Notre Dame’s classic 1988 national championship.
The kind words for coach have flooded social media following the reports.
"Oh at some point I think we all knew we’d be lucky to hold on to Lou and legends like him much longer," announcer Tim Brando posted onXThursday night. "So many we've looked up to and many I had the honor and privilege of not only covering but working alongside eventually head to their next life of eternal glory. My thoughts are with his family, especially my dear friend (Skip Holtz) his wife Jen and their extended family. His beloved wife Beth awaits. Coach Holtz has always been a National Treasure."
