Mike Tyson Returns to the Stage With Return of the Mike Tour at Hard Rock Live
Former heavyweight champion and cultural icon Mike Tyson is stepping back into the spotlight — this time not in the ring, but on stage. Hard Rock International has announced Tyson’s brand-new live show, Return of the Mike, an exclusive tour set to run at four Hard Rock Live venues beginning in November 2025.
Tickets go on sale September 12, with fans already buzzing about the chance to see the legendary fighter in a whole new light.
A New Chapter After Undisputed Truth
Mike Tyson’s first stage show, Undisputed Truth, became a smash hit in Las Vegas and on Broadway, offering a candid look at his early life, boxing rise, and personal struggles. Return of the Mike promises to go deeper, blending unfiltered honesty, reflections on addiction and mental health, and a surprising dose of humor.
“After Undisputed Truth, people kept asking when I’d return, and now it’s time — no holding back, no filter,” Mike Tyson said in a statement. “Hard Rock knows how to bring people together for unforgettable nights. We’re going to have some fun, tell some truths, and remind everyone that I’m still swinging hard.”
