Boxing champ Mike Tyson wants Jamie Foxx to play him on an upcoming biopic.

According to AP, the boxer says he's spoken to the award-winning actor several times about the film. He also says he's aware that Foxx doesn't measure up to him physically, but knows that can change with time.

"Me and Jamie Foxx have been talking and he's willing to take that role and portray me as Mike Tyson, doing my life story," he said. "I saw him the other night and we discussed it. He doesn't have the physicality but he will. He's able to ... get bulky, so he's capable of doing it in the future."

Tyson is currently on tour doing his one-man show of his trials and triumphs, directed by Spike Lee.

Foxx has played dynamic individuals in the past, like Ray Charles, Stanley "Tookie" Williams and musician Nathaniel Ayers.
