Boxing legend Mike Tyson saw great success as a movie star following his retirement from boxing. The former heavyweight champion gained recognition as an actor following his cameo in Todd Phillips ‘The Hangover’. Although it might come as a surprise, Tyson now wants to try his hand at directing.

Iron Mike recently revealed his interest in directing a movie on his podcast Hotboxin’. He wanted to make a movie involving skateboarders who would rob banks. “I wanted to make a movie about a bunch of bank robbers on skates,” said Tyson. Moreover, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, who appeared as a guest on the show, agreed to a cameo in the movie if Tyson would fund it. “I’m in though if you’re gonna fund it I’m in,” said Hawk

It seems like the fans might get a movie featuring the two legends soon as Tyson looks to venture into the production business.
