Jamie Foxx Will Reportedly Play Mike Tyson in Upcoming Biopic

After seeing him in Ray as Ray Charles and Ali as Drew "Bundini" Brown, who better to play boxing great Mike Tyson than Jamie Foxx?                      

Foxx, who won the Oscar for Best Actor for his work in Ray, will step into Tyson's shoes on the big screen in the near future, per the Sun, and the legendary fighter approves of the project.

"It's on, as of right now," Tyson said. "Jamie Foxx has signed on for it. Filming hasn't started yet, but it's going to happen. ... A lot of people aren't going to like the things I've done in my life."

The biographical film should draw worldwide attention with several notable heavyweights involved with the project. Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese will reportedly direct the biopic.
