Mike Tyson on Jaime Foxx Playing Him: ‘I Don’t Know Anything About Any Pictures and Stuff’

Mike Tyson is leading a life that is no less than a cinematic thriller, and several filmmakers have already sampled ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ via various documentaries. Coming from a troubled childhood to becoming the youngest ever heavyweight world champion, Tyson saw some prominent success in the early years of his career. But he saw some massive setbacks as well lately.

Award-winning director, Martin Scorsese, reportedly decided to put all of it into the big screens, through a limited tv series. The Actor, Jamie Foxx, was pitched to play the role of Mike Tyson, sending several fans into a frenzy. However, the developments to the idea are still not on the buzz, and Tyson has claimed to know nothing about that project.

In a chat with The Club Shay Shay, Mike Tyson said, “Hey, I don’t know anything about any pictures and stuff. I am just enjoying the moments I have now.”

Tyson’s recent comments clearly put a slight dent on the idea of seeing Jamie Foxx don the role of the heavyweight legend. However, this can also be a publicity stunt to retain the hype of the project. Well, Tyson himself is to appear in an Indian movie named ‘Liger’ soon. The film is reportedly based on combat sport, as we can expect ‘Iron’ to offer a portion of his power on the cinematic screens.

Tyson has previously worked in several Hollywood flicks like Hang Over and several more. However, a cinematic work depicted on him will clearly be new to the fans. While Tyson’s life has been a roller coaster ride of ups and down, Jamie Foxx’s portrayal of him may reveal some unknown facts about the former champion freshly.

Mike Tyson is now a business entrepreneur

After a life filled with drama and success, Tyson is still turning heads in his dotage. The 55-year-old former champ is now an entrepreneur and runs his own podcast named, ‘HotBoxin’. Besides, he staged a staggering comeback against Roy Jones Jr in 2020. As he is similarly making moves in the cinematic universe, ‘Iron’ Mike is truly enjoying his life.

Tyson could have stepped into several more exhibitions. However, he may not do so. Per his claims, the money from Roy Jones Jr fight is still held, and we may have seen him for the last time in the ring. That said, a television series on him can be sheerly interesting at this time.
