According to Deadline, the former boxer is not happy that the streaming service produced a biographical series without his permission or compensation for telling his story

“Don’t let Hulu fool you. I don’t support their story about my life. It’s not 1822. It’s 2022,” read Tyson’s statement on Instagram.

Tyson’s latest post came after another publication he made on the same social media platform where he praised UFC president Dana White for refusing to promote the Hulu series

This was not the first time the heavyweight champion slammed Hulu for the biopic series.
