In a shocking turn of events, Mike Tyson lately called out the popular online streaming platform Hulu. He accused them of stealing his ‘life rights”. Hulu was all set to release an 8-episode limited series called Mike on the 25th of August. Inspired by the life and struggle of the former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, Mike promised to explore “the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life”.

However, with less than a month remaining, Tyson took to Twitter and besmirched Hulu, accusing the latter of stealing his story and calling them out in public. Tyson’s message was direct and indignant and it informed that he was not a black man Hulu thought they could sell at an auction.

Even after Mike Tyson’s protests and condemnation and the backlash that Hulu received from the fans, they are planning to go ahead with their controversial project. Tyson is in no mood to appreciate such greedy and exploitative behavior. On being asked if Hulu was still planning to go forward with their production of Mike, Tyson replied, “I believe so, yeah.” Further criticizing and expressing his disapproval, he added, “Have you seen him jump ropes and train? Do you think the guy had two amateur fights?”
