Legendary boxer Mike Tyson fancies a role in Shakespeare's 'Othello'

Boxer Mike Tyson, who is now looking forward to sharpen his acting skills, has expressed his feelings to do Shakespeare.

The former world boxing heavyweight champion asserted that he absolutely wants to do Shakespeare, The Mirror reported. The 48-year-old retired pro boxer continued that he did not know which exact role he would want to play but he was aware that it would be challenging to do Othello.

Tyson added that he couldn't do a performance on the stage as it would be mortifying and the camera filming a show would be easier for him.
