The Oscar-winning 'Ray' actor has already started working with Tyson on a biopic of his life, the controversial former heavyweight champion has revealed.

Tyson said:

"Jamie Foxx and I will be working together. He will play me in the film about my life. We have already had several discussions about it."


After reigning as the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 until 1990 Tyson's life went into a downward spiral when he was sent to jail for rape in 1992.

Following his 1995 release he continued to make headlines and caused outrage when he bit a chunk of rival Evander Holyfield's ear off during a fight in 1992.

Tyson (who is currently fighting bankruptcy) admits he struggled to cope even during the peak of his success. The 41-year-old sportsman said:

"Even when I was training for a fight I would drink. This is the first time I have been clean and sober in my whole life."


Fighting bankrupcy? I can see that he had no choice but to cash this chip in. Let's hope Foxx makes a great movie out of it...for his own sake.
