Mike Tyson's character will be portrayed by Jamie Foxx in with the help of Martin Scorsese in the boxer's upcoming biopic, according to reports.
Tyson revealed that special effects will be used so that the Academy winner actor Foxx could portray him throughout his troubled life in a film, the Mirror reported.
