Mike Tyson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Mike Tyson continues to defy expectations and reinvent himself even as he nears his 60th birthday. This past week, headlines have been dominated by news of his rumored stint on the hit Indian reality show Bigg Boss 19. According to both Times of India and BollywoodShaadis, the showrunners are in advanced talks with Tyson’s team, negotiating his fee for what could be a highly publicized wild card appearance. If finalized, Tyson will join the house in October for about a week to ten days—a move echoing previous international castings such as Pamela Anderson and Shilpa Shetty. While sources from Deccan Chronicle and Navbharat Times suggest his entry is nearly set, dates have not been confirmed and it remains possible talks could stall over compensation. If he does join, it would mark one of the biggest international television crossovers of the year and further revitalize the Bigg Boss formula by bringing back global star power.

On the business side, Tyson is making waves in the cannabis world. Business of Cannabis reports that Tyson’s brand Tyson 2.0 has just announced a strategic partnership with infrastructure platform Green Success 1.0, aiming to expand his empire of cannabis products—vapes, edibles, and flowers—as well as his renowned weed-themed resort in California. Just this week, Colorado welcomed the launch of “Knockout Cannabis Gummies” under the Tyson 2.0 banner, according to MVSU reports, reinforcing his status as one of the few sporting legends to amass fortune both in and out of the ring.

Public appearances have been frequent and closely watched. Tyson was front and center at collectible and fan expos in both California and Toronto, drawing massive crowds, as chronicled on his official site and Instagram. On August 16, Instagram posts showcased Tyson’s appearance at the Frank & Son Collectible Show where he mingled with fans and sports icons. Upcoming events include a marquee signing with basketball legend Hakeem Olajuwon on August 30, stoking nostalgia and cross-sport admiration.

In the fight world, Tyson addressed his recent exhibition bout with Jake Paul in a FOX Sports interview. He candidly described the aftermath: “Jake punches hard. My body hurt so bad,” reflecting on how Paul’s punching power impacted him even months after their November match in Texas. With Paul’s next fight against boxer Gervonta Davis announced for November, Tyson’s opinions are generating buzz among boxing enthusiasts.

On social media, Tyson’s Instagram engagement remains robust, mixing throwbacks, fan photos, and promotional material for his business ventures. While no personal controversies or new memoirs have emerged this week, his ventures in media, business, and reality TV continue to shape his legendary biography, proving that Iron Mike remains a global force—whether in the ring, on reality television, or in the boardroom.
