Tyson on Codemasters

Infamous heavyweight boxer Iron Mike Tyson will be making his video game debut on the Codemasters label. The company will be rolling out a Tyson boxing title on PC and Playstation this May, but their licensing agreement with the former champ extends to all gaming platforms. Said Codemasters marketing director Nick Wheelwright, "We have chosen to concentrate on one boxer for our game, instead of trying to throw everything into the pot at once." As for Tyson, he explained, "It's my kids who have been after me to get a game going for quite a while now, and I've been watching this whole area of sports-based videogames, waiting for just the right opportunity to become involved."
