Legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson is gearing up for his live show ‘Return of the Mike,’ which will tour four Hard Rock Live venues this fall. The 59-year-old promises a night of “honest, hilarious” performances and conversations, sharing the highs and lows of his career along with lessons and anecdotes that he believes will truly resonate with fans. This isn’t his first rodeo, though.

The event marks Tyson’s return to the stage after his 2013 one-man show ‘Undisputed Truth,’ which ended up becoming an acclaimed HBO special directed by Spike Lee. For those seeking something extra, however, Tyson is now offering an exclusive, one-on-one experience paired with a $165K sports car. The best part? It’s all in support of a charitable cause that Tyson has been dedicated to for years.

What is Mike Tyson up to? 

Earlier today, heavyweight legend Mike Tyson took to Instagram to announce a major giveaway. In a video message, he revealed, “I’m giving you the chance to win a Hennessey Super Venom Mustang.” But that’s not all. “You can win a trip to meet me. I’ll send you home with a signed boxing glove and some really great stories.” The initiative is part of the Tyson Foundation’s ongoing efforts, launched in partnership with fundraising platform AllTroo under the campaign ‘Rally with Mike Tyson.’ 

Tyson emphasized, “Support the Tyson Foundation and enter today at alltroo[dot]com/mike. I even hand you the keys myself.” With only 91 models of the car available, the giveaway is a rare opportunity. For those uninterested in the car or the meet-and-greet, there’s also a $115,500 cash alternative prize. Entries remain open until October 24, 2025, with winners announced by November 19, 2025. In his caption, Tyson wrote, “Every entry helps my [Tyson Foundation] continue uplifting underserved communities with the support of [AllTroo].”

Notably, Tyson’s foundation and AllTroo previously partnered with 23XI Racing—the NASCAR team co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin—to promote the same giveaway. Regardless, this isn’t the only big news to have come from Tyson. He recently announced a return to the boxing ring for an exhibition fight against legendary Floyd Mayweather next year. But how did that come together? 

Floyd Mayweather was the instigator, says Tyson

Having already returned to the ring for a professional boxing match against Jake Paul last year in November, Tyson has revealed that it was Floyd Mayweather who pushed for their exhibition match announced for next year. Mike Tyson admitted that he wasn’t planning on a comeback until Mayweather came knocking. 

“I was minding my own business. I wasn’t bothering nobody. He just wanted to pick a fight,” Tyson said in a conversation at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. A venue and exact date for the fight have not been announced yet, but when pressed about a payday from the fight, Tyson said, “I guess the bag is involved.”

It appears Mike Tyson is offering a lot of things to his fans—a car, a meet and greet, a live show, and even an exhibition boxing match next year. Which one are you most excited about?
