Jamie Foxx to Play Mike Tyson in a Limited Television Series

Jamie Foxx will be starring in a biographical TV series about Mike Tyson which will be executive produced by Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese. This will be the second series based on the boxing legend's life. The project was originally supposed to be a feature film.

Foxx has said that he is bulking up for the role. 

Mike Tyson commented about the project, saying, "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."

Tyson and his wife, Kiki, will also executive produce the project.
