‘MIKE’, a mini-series streaming on Hulu, which is based on legendary boxer Mike Tyson’s life, is making a buzz in the town. Until now, only two episodes have been aired, but the show is receiving a good response from the audience. Tyson, though, was not supporting this project due to his reasons, and now there has been another error that could annoy ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’.

The very first episode of the show showed the iconic fight between Mike Tyson and Michael Spinks, which took place on June 27, 1988. However, instead of Michael Spinks, they have written Leon Spinks.

Mike Tyson shares his disregard for Hulu
The former heavyweight champion has seen his life from a completely different end from others. Although he reached the zenith of success, he had his own share of struggles. Despite the fact that there are already documentaries made about his life, writers and directors still want to make movies or shows about Tyson, to tell the story in their own words.
Streaming giant Hulu recently released a mini-series on Tyson’s life, but the 56-year-old is upset with them, as he feels that it is being released without his consent.

While talking to ‘Access,’ Tyson mentioned how Hulu was not paying him anything to use his story. He further added, “It’s just a really disgusting feeling that people here steal your rights, your personal life and you can do nothing about it. And that’s why I just can’t believe this. It’s just some people who are one time with my friends and I guess they decide to do a story on me.”
