When Mike Tyson (Trevante Rhodes) greets his audience out for his one-man show, he greets them as a hero and as a victim, and as a champion and a punchline — but not as a villain. His theatrical confessional, which takes inspiration from the “Mike Tyson: Undisputed show” that toured the country in 2013, sees him recounting his triumphs and tribulations to gasps and cheers, but rarely judgment.
Mike Tyson isn’t happy about new TV biopic: “They stole my story”

Hulu‘s biopic series Mike once again, claiming that “they stole [his] life story and didn’t pay [him]”.The show is set to star Trevante Rhodes as the boxer, and will explore the “tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life – from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again”.However, in a new Instagram post, Tyson himself expressed his objection to the project.“Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life,” he wrote.
“It’s not 1822. It’s 2022.
They stole my life story and didn’t pay me.”A post shared by Mike Tyson (@miketyson)Tyson added in the caption: “Hulu is the streaming version of the slave master. They stole my story and didn’t pay me.”The boxer expressed support for UFC president Dana White just a day before after the latter allegedly refused to promote Mike.“Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother @danawhite millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life,” Tyson said on Instagram.
“He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity. I’ll never forget what he did for me just like I’ll never forget what Hulu stole from me.”This isn’t the first time Tyson has spoken out against the show, saying last year in a now-deleted Instagram post (via Complex): “Hulu’s announcement to do an unauthorised miniseries of the Tyson story without compensation, although unfortunate, isn’t surprising.“This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of the Tyson life story.
