MIKE TYSON has slammed Hulu, an American streaming service, for "stealing" his story in advance of a forthcoming series.
The most serious attempt by the broadcaster to give Tyson's boxing career and life the cinematic treatment is "Mike".
Tyson has criticised Hulu for "stealing" his story
Tyson, a former world heavyweight champion, is not a fan Hulu's work. He complains on social media.
Tyson claims they are making the show unauthorised without his consent.
He tweeted: "Hulu stole my story.
"They're Goliath, and I'm David." This will make heads roll."
Tyson added that "Hulu is greedy in its model of taking celebrity life rights."
He also said that he is just someone Hulu executives can "sell on the auction block".
Tyson posted on Instagram: "Don’t let Hulu foolyou. I do not support their story about me.
It's not 1822. It's 2022. They took my life story and didn’t pay me.

Tyson captioned the Instagram post with the following: "Hulu, the streaming version slave master." They stole my story, and they didn't pay me."
Tyson claims that Hulu attempted to pay Dana White, UFC president, to participate in the series. His pal refused.
Tyson says White honors friendship.
Tyson stated: "Hulu tried desperately to pay my brother @danawhite million without offering me a dime to promote their slave master over story about our lives.
"He declined it because he values friendship and treats people with dignity.
"I won't forget what he did to me, just as Hulu took from me."
