In the ever-weird world of AI-generated content, even the most iconic faces aren’t safe from a digital makeover.
Just ask Mike Tyson. The boxing legend shared a hilarious — and frankly bizarre — AI portrait on social media that had fans doing double takes.
Let’s just say, “White Mike” had the internet talking.
Tyson Shares a Strange Lookalike
On Tuesday, Mike Tyson posted an AI-generated image of himself — well, sort of — with a very unusual twist.
The portrait showed a man with all of Tyson’s signature facial features, including his famous face tattoo, but with pale skin and bleach-blonde hair. Yes, really.
Tyson couldn’t help but poke fun at the uncanny creation, captioning it with, “White Mike? You guys know this isn’t right.”
Clearly amused, the 58-year-old ex-heavyweight champ shared the image with his 33.5 million followers on Instagram.
Fans Think They’ve Seen This Face Before
It didn’t take long for the internet to chime in — and the comparisons were hilarious.
Some fans thought the AI version looked suspiciously like UFC and WWE star Brock Lesnar.
One person bluntly commented, “It’s just Brock Lesnar,” while another joked, “If Brock Lesnar and Mike Tyson had a baby.”
Others even tossed John Cena into the mix, pointing out that the AI mash-up gave off some serious “you can’t see me” energy.
Whether it was the chiseled jawline or the unexpected blonde hair, people were thoroughly entertained by the AI’s creative liberties.
From Virtual Laughs to Real Fights
While Tyson’s AI makeover was just for fun, his real-life fight career isn’t quite over yet.
The former champ shocked fans when he returned to the ring in November 2024 to fight YouTuber Jake Paul in Texas.
Though he lost by unanimous decision and looked far from his prime, he still walked away with a massive £16 million payday.
And now, another big opportunity might be on the table.
Tyson has reportedly been offered a bout against Russian MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko.
The offer comes from Kazakhstan-based promotion Alash Pride League (APL), who are eager to set up a major winter fight.
A Potential Clash With a Russian Icon
In a press statement from Astana, APL President Alimzhan Bektaev confirmed the organization is eyeing a Tyson vs. Emelianenko showdown.
No date has been set yet, but the buzz is building — especially given the high-profile names involved.
For Tyson, who boasts an incredible career record of 50 wins and five world titles, it could be another dramatic chapter in a life full of unexpected turns — and AI portraits.
