Why does legendary boxer Mike Tyson want to watch Rajkumar Hirani's Saala Khadoos?

Legendary boxer Mike Tyson has expressed a desire to watch Bollywood film Saala Khadoos, which delves into the story of a boxing coach.

"I'd like to see this boxing film," Tyson, who has also acted in a couple of international films, posted on his Facebook page, along with a link of a review by an Indian publication on Saala Khadoos.

Tyson's interest in the movie seems to be natural given that he holds the record of being the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years of age.
