Mike Tyson and his appearances in commercials

Tyson is no stranger when it comes to starring in commercials. He has been instrumental in providing the much needed comedic relief in advertisements.

In 2013, Tyson had appeared in a heartwarming commercial for Foot Locker.

In the commercial, Tyson shows up at Evander Holyfield’s house. Tyson then proceeds to apologize to Holyfield for biting his ear.

Basketball stars Kyrie Irving and Dennis Rodman also made an appearance in the commercial.

Another notable commercial was for Mike’s Hard Lemonade Seltzer. In the commercial, a character asks another about the origin of the lemonade seltzer. Tyson hilariously shouts to them, saying, “Enjoy the Mike’s baby.”

The characters are intimidated by Tyson. And one of them nervously answers, “Will do Mike. Will do”

The Diet Pepsi commercial from 1988 was one of Tyson’s first appearances on screen. His then-wife, Robin Givens, was also part of this commercial.

In the commercial, the narrator asks what a 6 foot 2, 220 pound man of iron drinks. Further, the narrator proceeds to say that Mike Tyson prefers Diet Pepsi.

Diet Pepsi is then compared to Diet Coke. To this Tyson answers, “Step in to the ring and taste for yourself.”

However, one of Tyson’s best commercials was during the Super Bowl in 2016. Tyson starred in a commercial for the plumbing company, Michael & Sons. His son, Amir Tyson, was also a part of the commercial.

Amir Tyson plays a boxer who is pummeled to the ropes by another boxer, Sam ‘The Vanilla Gorilla’ Crossed. Moreover, loss seems apparent for Amir Tyson.

Mike Tyson, wearing a plumber’s uniform, enters the ring and knocks out the Vanilla Gorilla. He ends by hilariously saying, “If you can’t, we can.”
