Tyson’s IMDB page credits him with 60 starring roles, including voice acting appearances and cameos on shows including WWE’s Wrestlemania XXVIII.
But his is best known for his role in the Hangover franchise, as well as Scary Movie V and Ip Man 3.
Liger represents a big change of scene for Tyson however, as the film will only be released in two languages – Hindi and Telugu.
Tyson is also set to feature in two other films in 2022, ‘Vendetta’ and ‘Soul Business’.
But Iron Mike’s boxing career is still not over yet, with the former world champion revealing he would be happy to take on either of the Paul brothers.
