Renowned actor Jamie Foxx is going to play the character of young Mike Tyson in the upcoming biopic on ‘The Baddest Man on Planet’. The 54-year-old is excited about this project and is promoting it by telling fans about the movie and Tyson in different interviews.

While discussing the biopic on one of the most inspirational figures in sports history, Foxx narrated the entire opening scene of the movie. Beginning from the camera work till the completion of the first shot, Foxx detailed the entire sequence.

Describing New York, Foxx introduced a boy with several questions. “My dad said you were amazing. My dad said you were one of the best. You were boss, you was this, you was that and you hear the person’s voice.”

In response to a kids’ question in the opening scene of the movie, Foxx mentioned  Tyson’s dialogues while impersonating him. He said, “Don’t worry about what your dad said just throw the right and make sure you keep your left up or get your head knocked off and as a camera gets closer you see that it’s now Mike Tyson, no but my dad said. I’mma tells you one time don’t say anything about your dad don’t care that was back in the day just throw the left and when you shoot the right shoot it with some shoot it with authority shoot like you mean it and he throws the right hits Mike.”

Later, the scene entered more chaos and the build-up for the movie begins. The right punch landed on Tyson reminds him of the knockdown against Buster Douglas.
