Change Of Plans: Mike Tyson Biopic, Starring Jamie Foxx, To Become Limited Series

The highly anticipated Mike Tyson biopic starring and executive produced by Jamie Foxx will now be a limited series titled, “Tyson.”

The change of plans comes on the heels of Hulu announcing their unauthorized limited series, “Iron Mike.”

You may recall Mike Tyson was furious about it and publicly called out the streamer via social media.

Now, Mike, Jamie Foxx, Antoine Fuqua, who will direct, and executive producer Martin Scorsese are going to fight fire with fire by releasing their own limited series. 

The champ shared:

I have been looking to tell my story for quite some time. With the recent launch of Legends Only League and the excitement from fans following my return to the ring, now feels like the perfect moment. I look forward to collaborating with Martin, Antoine, Jamie, and the entire creative team to bring audiences a series that not only captures my professional and personal journey but also inspires and entertains.

Let’s get it!
