Salman Khan-hosted reality TV show Bigg Boss’ 19th season is just days away from its premiere. While the official list of contestants for the upcoming season is yet to be confirmed, there are speculations
that Mike Tyson might be seen in the drama-filled Bigg Boss house. Yes, you heard it right. The 59-year-old former American professional boxer is in talks to join the controversial reality show.
Mike Tyson, one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, is set to appear on Bigg Boss 19 as a guest. A source told Times of India that the makers are in “advanced talks” with him and his team to join the show. They are reportedly negotiating his fees. “If the deal works out, he is expected to enter the house in October for a week or 10 days. The dates, however, are yet to be finalised,” the insider shared.
The source further opened up on the reason behind introducing an international star to the show. They revealed that the makers decided to bring an international celebrity to “boost the show’s appeal” as foreigners played a key role in giving Bigg Boss significant limelight in earlier seasons.
Who Is Mike Tyson, Speculated To Be A Guest On Bigg Boss 19?
Mike Tyson, who is also known as the Baddest Man on the Planet, Iron Mike and Kid Dynamite, is a former professional boxer. He reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990.
