Mike Tyson once again lambasted Hulu after the release of a limited series depicting his life without his knowledge and consent. ‘Iron Mike’ also revealed that the streaming service hasn’t paid him any money for the series.

In an interview over Newsmax, the former heavyweight champion said:

"They lied on a few occasions, telling people it was my show so they could get free advertisements and use somebody's property. They also used the UFC to try to allow them to promote their movie, and Dana (White) said he's not with that at all, they're charlatans, and he didn't want nothing to do with them.”

When asked if he would watch the show, the legendary boxer said:

“I know who I am. I don’t need somebody to show the world who I am.”

In one of his tweets, he said:

“Hey Hulu, I’m not a n****r you can sell on the auction block”

The series, entitled “Mike”, was released on August 25 and has a total of seven episodes. The trailer features different stages of Tyson's life; from his childhood days, to his rise to fame, and then his infamous fall from grace.
