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'.

Brock Lesnar's net worth in 2025, current job, life after wrestling and more
Image via WWE Brock Lesnar, one of the most dominant forces in WWE and UFC history, continues to command attention even in his absence from the wrestling world. Known for his explosive performances and rare public appearances, Lesnar's presence still looms large, both in the ring and on the financial charts. As of 2025, Lesnar's wealth and lifestyle reflect the success of a career few can rival. Net worth in 2025: How rich is Brock Lesnar today? Despite not having stepped into the WWE ring since his 2023 SummerSlam loss to Cody Rhodes, Lesnar's net worth in 2025 stands strong at $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This figure remains steady from 2024, despite his ongoing association with the highly publicized Janel Grant lawsuit. Lesnar's earnings come from multiple streams. His massive pay-per-view bouts in both WWE and UFC, long-term sponsorships, merchandise royalties, and bonus clauses have collectively built a financial empire. His endorsement deals with brands like Dymatize Nutrition, Jimmy John's, and his personal fitness label DeathClutch continue to supplement his income even during his hiatus. What is Brock Lesnar doing now? While Lesnar has not been seen in WWE programming for almost two years, he remains under contract with the company. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer recently responded to fan speculation on social media, stating, 'I believe so,' when asked if Lesnar was still signed to WWE. His name had been floated for a return during the build-up to Royal Rumble 2024, but that comeback was reportedly scrapped due to his alleged involvement in the ongoing legal case surrounding former WWE chairman Vince McMahon. Though Lesnar hasn't been charged, the association has affected his public image and delayed his return. For now, Lesnar appears to be embracing a quieter chapter. Based on recent viral images, he's sporting a completely new look - long hair, and spending time on his farm in Canada alongside his wife, former WWE star Sable. Their daughter, Mya Lesnar, is also making waves as a top college athlete, having recently secured her fourth consecutive shot put title at the Mountain West Championships. Goldberg, another wrestling legend, recently revealed that despite Lesnar's intimidating persona, he is a private and reclusive individual who values peace and privacy over fame. The two remain cordial, though they rarely stay in touch. While questions remain over a possible WWE return, Brock Lesnar seems content living life on his own terms. Whether or not he steps back into the ring, his legacy - and his wealth, look firmly secured.

Major twist in Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit as John Laurinaitis 'agrees deal to flip on ex-WWE boss'
A former WWE executive and co-defendant in the bombshell sex trafficking lawsuit involving Vince McMahon has reached a confidential settlement to flip on the ex-wrestling tycoon, according to reports. John Laurinaitis, who served as head of talent relations for the WWE, was also accused of sex trafficking in the lawsuit filed by ex-employee Janel Grant. Grant alleges that both Laurinaitis and McMahon subjected her to years of sexual abuse and coercion, with WWE superstar Brock Lesnar also named in the lawsuit earlier this year. Yet in a joint statement issued by both his and Grant's representatives on Wednesday, it was revealed that Laurinaitis - who was fired by the WWE in 2022 - has gone full heel-turn on McMahon by agreeing to flip on him. 'John Laurinaitis has agreed to cooperate and provide evidence in Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE,' the statement said, via The New York Post. 'His agreement to a confidential settlement is a pivotal next step toward holding McMahon and WWE accountable and bringing justice to Ms. Grant after years of sexual abuse and trafficking.' 'Mr. Laurinaitis looks forward to moving on with his life,' the statement added. has reached out to McMahon's attorney for comment. Grant previously agreed to a $3million settlement in exchange for signing a nondisclosure agreement in 2022. But last year she filed a new lawsuit against McMahon, the WWE and Laurinaitis, claiming the former stopped making payments after the initial $1m installment and requesting to void that agreement. Her allegations include that McMahon and Laurinaitis locked her in a room at the WWE's Stamford, Connecticut headquarters in June of 2021 and took turns sexually assaulting during the work day. The married McMahon is additionally accused of trafficking Grant to other men, forcing her to perform sex acts 'on demand' and sharing nude photographs of the plaintiff. In one alleged text message from 2020, he is accused of sharing a photo of her with others and writing: 'She may scream and try to say NO!!although it would B difficult to say anything with a c*** down her throat.' Another message allegedly sent by McMahon to Grant a month earlier read: 'I'm the only one who owns U and controls who I want to f*** U.' The WWE board learned of McMahon's relationship with Grant from an anonymous tip in 2022 and launched an internal investigation, which subsequently uncovered $14.6m in other alleged payments by the executive to various women. Grant's filing alleges that McMahon ensnared her in a sexual relationship by promising to help advance her career before ultimately exploiting her and trafficking her to other executives within the company.
