Mike Tyson switches football allegiance again after being pictured in Juventus shirt

Mike Tyson has donned plenty of football shirts down the years.

Mike Tyson added another football shirt to his already-impressive collection on Thursday morning when he donned the 2023/24 Juventus home shirt.

The 57-year-old is currently in Turin to shoot the action film “Bunny Man” – a new superhero movie that is being produced by Andrea Iervolino and writer Enrico Remmert.

Tyson, who was part of a press conference to announce his involvement, has been cast as himself in the film that will feature a multimillionaire superhero seeking vengeance for his sister's suicide.

On his travels to Turin this week, the former heavyweight champion stopped by at Juventus' headquarters, where he sported the Serie A club's iconic black and white home shirt.

Juve posted a picture of Tyson wearing the shirt on their Instagram page alongside the caption: "Juve training gonna get a whole lot tougher."

This isn't the first time Tyson has sported a football shirt.

Back in 2010, he was paraded around the London Road pitch wearing a Peterborough shirt during their pre-season friendly match against West Ham.

Tyson, who was in town to make a TV show on pigeon racing, even admitted that he’d never even heard of Peterborough while speaking to the crowd.

X account Classic Football Shirts have previously created a thread on Tyson's shirt-wearing antics.

As well as Peterborough, the boxing legend has sported the following shirts: Argentina, England, Brazil, Rangers, Scotland, Manchester United, Wolves and Benfica.

Back in 2020, Tyson was in his element when he took on commentating duties for a Cristiano Ronaldo goal.

Los Blancos were in action against Barcelona in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final in 2013.

And Ronaldo scored Madrid's second goal of the match at the Camp Nou – a moment that 'Iron' Mike commentated on.

"Well, I see this young man running with the ball, he's picking up a lot of speed, but he's unable to score because this guy is putting a great deal of pressure [on him]," Tyson said.

"He skips. No, he feints. He's trying to score; no, he won't score. No, it won't happen. But it will now. Ronaldoooooo scores again!"

The so-called 'Baddest Man on the Planet' went on to label Ronaldo as a "sensational" player.
