Mike Tyson stars in Roberto Cavalli film
Retired boxing titan Mike Tyson is the star of Roberto Cavalli's first menswear collection designed by Fausto Puglisi.
Mike Tyson is the face of Roberto Cavalli's Spring/Summer 2022 menswear collection.
The boxing legend stars in a film to showcase the first collection with Fausto Puglisi at the helm.
The Tommaso Ottomano visual shows off the Andy Warhol-inspired pieces - including bold animal prints - with the theme of the American Dream.
Puglisi said in a statement: “Mike Tyson is one of the last living pop icons and beyond being a boxing champion, he is also a stylish man, with a very personal and eccentric taste.
“But more than the undisputed boxing champion and American icon, his personal story is also a tale of survival, struggle, and resilience. He embodies America in both the American Dream and all the possibilities it holds, but also its reverse.”
Tyson appears in a zebra-print robe with his surname emblazoned on the back.
And, in a joint interview with the designer, Tyson revealed that wearing pink makes him want to fight.
Speaking to GQ, the 55-year-old retired heavyweight champion explained: "Pink has a lot to do with it. If I’m wearing pink, I’m not going to have an expression like you want to talk to me. ’Cause when I have on pink, I’m very serious. Pink makes me very masculine.
To which Puglisi replied: "Belissimo!"
Tyson added: "I almost want to fight in those clothes. Those clothes make me want to fight a little."
