J. Kim Murphy Mike Tyson has again expressed his disdain for the new Hulu biopic series about his life. The former professional heavyweight boxer doesn’t approve of “Mike,” to say the least, stating that the streamer “stole” his life story.Tyson aired his grievances against Hulu and the series through his Instagram on Saturday, sharing two posts with strong words against the streamer.The first post commends Dana White, the standing president of premiere mixed martial arts organization Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Tyson alleges that Hulu attempted to pay White — and potentially UFC — to promote “Mike,” but White declined because he “honors friendship.” Tyson calls the series a “slave master take over story” about his life. “Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother Dana White millions without offering me a dollar to promote their slave master take over story about my life,” Tyson wrote. “He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity.

I’ll never forget what he did for me just like I’ll never forget what Hulu stole from me.”A post shared by Mike Tyson (@miketyson)Soon after, Tyson shared a second post criticizing Hulu: “Don’t let Hulu fool you.

I don’t support their story about my life. It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and didn’t pay me. To Hulu executives I’m just a n****r they can sell on the auction block.”A post shared by Mike Tyson (@miketyson)It isn’t the first time that Tyson has criticized the production.
