Jamie Foxx ready to bite into Mike Tyson in upcoming biopic

With Jamie Foxx‘s luck in the biopic genre, the Oscar winner has now signed onto to play the iconic child-voiced boxer, in an upcoming biopic, that will reunite him with Ray director Taylor Hackford.  In the film Foxx, will pack on the pounds as others have before him (namely Will Smith and Robert DeNiro) to portray the fighter which he spoke to MTV saying:

“Taylor Hackford, who also directed [the] Ray Charles [biopic], I think is my man. We have a certain kinship, and we’ve talked about when we do get back together what it would be like. I think, for something like this, it would be great because everybody remembers that era. And it’s been a long enough time that people need a re freshening.”
