Mike Tyson posts bizarre AI-produced 'White Mike' portrait - and fans all say he looks like famous fight star
Mike Tyson revealed a bizarre, AI produced portrait dubbed 'White Mike'. The legendary boxer - who made a stunning return to the ring since when he fought Jake Paul in November - took to social media to share the image with his followers. The image showed a man bearing striking resemblance to Tyson - with identical facial details including his Maori face tattoo - but with the obvious difference of his white complexion. Similarly, unlike Tyson, the man in the AI produced image showed the man with blonde hair - which the former heavyweight champion has never had. Accompanying the image, Tyson wrote: 'White Mike? You guys know this isn't right'. Within 14 hours of the image being on social media, the post accumulated nearly 500,000 likes as his 33.5million followers reacted to the bizarre picture. It didn't take long for some of them to point out that the man in the AI produced image looked similar to fight scene legend Brock Lesnar. In a blunt take, one fan wrote: 'It's just Brock Lesnar'. 'If Brock Lesnar and Mike Tyson had a baby', another wrote. Lesnar is the only man to have won the heavyweight championships in WWE, UFC and the NCAA. He also holds the record being the youngest man ever to win the WWE Championship, doing so at the age of 25 years and 44 days. He is also a double Royal Rumble champion, winning the event in 2003 and 2022. Another user even suggested that the AI produced image looked like Lesnar's WWE colleague John Cena. Meanwhile, last month, Tyson was offered a stunning return to the ring against MMA fighter Fedor Emelianenko. The 58-year-old hung up his gloves in 2005 but returned after 19 years to take on Youtuber Jake Paul at the AT&T Stadium in Texas in November. He earned £16million for his efforts but looked like a shadow of his former self as he laboured to a wide unanimous decision loss. Tyson, who has won 50 fights and five major world titles, has been offered the bout by Kazakh combat sports promotion, Alash Pride League (APL), who hope to tempt him with a winter clash against the Russian MMA icon. Speaking in Astana, Kazakhstan this week, APL President, Alimzhan Bektaev, said: 'We are planning a bout between Mike Tyson and Fedor Emelianenko'.
