Former world heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson arrived in Istanbul with his family. The plane carrying Tyson landed at Istanbul Airport.
Tyson came to Türkiye to take a role in Tuzlu Kahve, which airs on Star TV. Details about his role in the series have not yet been announced.
Answering reporters’ questions at the airport’s private terminal, Tyson said, "I’m really happy to be here" and added that he was looking forward to returning to Türkiye. Asked whether he followed Turkish football, Tyson replied, "The only things I know are Brazil and Argentina."
Born in New York in 1966, Tyson won the WBC belt at the age of 20 in 1986, becoming the youngest heavyweight world champion in history.
