Jamie Foxx is Mike Tyson in a raw, explosive biopic
From the streets of Brooklyn to the center of the boxing world, Tyson (2025) delivers a powerful portrait of one of the most controversial and electrifying athletes in history. Jamie Foxx transforms into Iron Mike Tyson in a performance that’s as fierce and layered as the man himself.
Directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Joker’s Scott Silver, the film charts Tyson’s meteoric rise as the youngest heavyweight champion ever, and his dramatic descent through personal turmoil, media scandals, and betrayal.
With Samuel L. Jackson as the flamboyant and manipulative promoter Don King, and a pulse-pounding score by Ludwig Göransson, Tyson is more than a boxing film — it’s a deep, unflinching exploration of rage, trauma, fame, and the high cost of greatness.
A story of violence, vulnerability, and the fight for redemption.
