Jamie Foxx Will Portray Mike Tyson in Limited Series

We are about to get an in-depth look into the life of boxer Mike Tyson. But he won't portray himself. Jamie Foxx has been tapped to star as the legendary boxer for a new biographical series called "Tyson." According to Variety, it will be a limited series directed by Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese would also be an executive producer. There isn't a network or streaming on the deal just, yet, but the series is supposed to span most of Mike's life. If you remember, Jamie has actually been prepping his body for the role last summer, by hitting the gym. Since we don't have a network announcement for this series, yet, we're hoping to have one soon as well as a date for the premiere.
