Mike Tyson is returning to the stage this fall on a four-part tour across Hard Rock Live venues throughout America.
Tyson, 59, announced the upcoming tour, titled Return of the Mike, on Monday morning. Starting Nov. 9 at Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, Illinois, the venture is billed as a continuation on Tyson’s 2013 autobiography Undisputed Truth.
“From battles with addiction and mental health to candid reflections on his celebrated career, Return of the Mike will revisit his wild younger self and share wisdom through the unexpected comedy of life,” reads the tour press release.
One of Tyson’s Return of the Mike sessions will also be filmed as part of an upcoming streaming special.
“After Undisputed Truth, people kept asking when I’d return, and now it’s time — no holding back, no filter,” Tyson said. “Hard Rock knows how to have a good time and bring people together for unforgettable nights, just like what we’re going to create with this tour. We’re going to have some fun, tell some truths, and remind everyone that I’m still swinging hard.”
Return of the Mike kicks off Nov. 9
The first date of Tyson’s live tour is set for Nov. 9. The information for all four shows is as follows:
- Sunday, November 9, 2025– Hard Rock Casino, Rockford, Ill.
- Sunday, November 23, 2025 – Hard Rock Casino, Cincinnati, Ohio
- Sunday, December 14, 2025 – Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Hollywood, Fla.
- Friday, January 23, 2026 – Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Atlantic City, N.J.
The show in Florida in December will be the one filmed for streaming at a later date.
Iron Mike also getting back in the ring
This isn’t the only major announcement Tyson has made recently. Last week, he and fellow boxing legend Floyd Mayweather revealed that they will be fighting each other next year.
The matchup is set for sometime in 2026 at an undisclosed location and will reportedly be broadcast worldwide.
“This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen,” Tyson told TMZ. “However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable — and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets.”
“I still can’t believe Floyd wants to really do this,” Tyson added. “It’s going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it’s signed and it’s happening!”
Of course, we’ll have to wait and see if this “bout” actually takes place.
