Mike Tyson is making a return to the stage with a new one-man show called “Return of the Mike.” It’s a follow-up to his previous show, “Undisputed Truth.”
Iron Mike explained why he is returning to the stage. “After Undisputed Truth, people kept asking when I’d return, and now it’s time, no holding back, no filter.”
While his last show focused on his rise to fame, “Return of the Mike” will go deeper into his personal life. He will talk about his struggle with addiction, his mental health journey, and his boxing career as an “ageing warrior.”
Tyson also told what to expect from the new show:
“A lot has happened since the last time I did a one-man show. I get to tell you guys about my new lawsuits, my struggles, my victories. Some of it will be sad, some of it will be funny, but all of it is real.”
The show promises to be raw and unfiltered, blending storytelling, humour, and wisdom gained from his life experiences.
He will also talk about recent events, including his planned fight with Jake Paul and the health scare he had on a plane that almost stopped the fight from happening.
The Baddest Man on the Planet shared the challenges of preparing for the show and a fight:
“Preparing for the stage and preparing for a fight are dead even. Athletes like me, entertainers like me… we live for that pressure. That’s why we can perform. That’s why we survive. So being on stage, talking, acting? It’s nothing.”
The show will be held exclusively at four Hard Rock Live venues.
“Hard Rock knows how to have a good time and bring people together for unforgettable nights, just like what we’re going to create with this tour. We’re going to have some fun, tell some truths, and remind everyone that I’m still swinging hard," Mike says.
Mike Tyson has only lost six matches during his career and had two “no contests.”
