Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Tyson said: ‘Me and Jamie Foxx are in discussion, and we gonna do it. ‘Within a year to 18 months, we’re going to do the Mike Tyson story and he’s going to portray me, and now they have this new animation; because you know Jamie’s pretty much my age so he can’t portray me but they have this new system.’
Speaking to the Live Show with Kelly and Michael in May, Foxx said: ‘I got a chance to hang out with Mike when Mike was at his height and I watched [him] go from his height to where he is now and talked to him about doing his story. I think that story would be fantastic.’ American film director Martin Scorsese will also be involved in the film, Tyson has claimed.
