Jamie Foxx has confirmed that his long-awaited Mike Tyson biopic is in the works – and he has been training hard to get in shape for the role.

The Oscar-winning star, 52, is set to play the former heavyweight champ in a film about his life and career. Fans were worried by a lack of news about the project, but Foxx has assured them the film is being made.

The actor said: “It’s a definitive yes. Doing biographies is a tough thing. Sometimes it takes 20 years to get them done, but we officially got the real ball rolling.” Foxx has taken on an intense training regime to play US boxer Tyson, 53.

He said: “Every other day I do 60 pull-ups, 60 dips, 100 push-ups. I ain’t got no calf muscles, so we might have to get some prosthetics for that.”
