Mike Tyson has made a comeback inside the ring yet again. Last time, it was back in 2020 against the multiple title holder in four different divisions, Roy Jones Jr. But now again, after three years in 2023, Mike Tyson has stepped inside the ring. However, this time it wasn’t in an arena in front of tens of thousands of crowd, instead it was for a movie. Anticlimactic? Well, not for Mike Tyson, as he was quite nervous to step inside the ring after so many years, even if it was just for the camera.

He arrived extremely stressed, which is not so surprising when you know that he has always been afraid when entering the ring. It wasn’t a fight, but he was anxious about doing wrong and he was magnificent,” the director of the movie revealed.

So, Tyson will be making a cameo appearance in the new action-comedy, Medellin, directed by the famous French director, Franck Gastambide. Although his own biopic film, starring Jamie Foxx, is still hanging in an uncertain terrain. Well, the major reason is Jamie Foxx being closer to Tyson’s age, and the VFX team will have to use the contour technique to make him play the younger versions of Tyson. He said, “You know, Jamie is closer to my age. So, in order to do him, they are gonna do what they did with Benjamin Button.
