Boxing legend's December 14 stop at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood on highly anticipated exclusive tour to be taped for global Netflix subscribers.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson is cementing his status as a multi-platform cultural phenomenon. In a major announcement, Hard Rock International and Netflix confirmed that Tyson’s highly anticipated live show, "Return of the Mike," will be filmed exclusively at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood for a global Netflix special set to premiere in 2026.

The taping, scheduled for December 14, 2025, will capture Tyson at his most candid and entertaining, offering millions of fans worldwide a ringside seat to the unfiltered story of his extraordinary life.

An Unfiltered Look at a Legend

"Iron Mike" has always transcended the boxing ring, and his newest live show continues that trend, building on the critical success of his previous one-man theatrical hit, Undisputed Truth. The current tour, Return of the Mike, is an intimate, four-city run hosted exclusively at Hard Rock Live venues across the country, which began last weekend at Hard Rock Casino Rockford and runs through January 2026.

Attendees at these shows are witnessing a piece of history as the Boxing Hall of Famer delivers an unfiltered look at his journey, from his spectacular rise to glory and public battles with addiction, to the unexpected wisdom gained through the comedy and chaos of life.

“The people coming to these Hard Rock Live shows are part of something special, raw, real, and unforgettable,” said Tyson. “Thanks to Hard Rock and Netflix we're also going to bring Return of the Mike to the world.”

A Cultural Colossus

The decision by Netflix to film the special underscores Tyson’s massive, cross-generational appeal. His ability to draw huge audiences on the streaming service was already proven in 2024 when his exhibition fight with Jake Paul drew over 73,000 attendees and reached more than 65 million global streamers.

Keith Sheldon, President of Entertainment and Brand at Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, noted the synergy: “Mike Tyson is a cultural phenomenon whose story transcends sports. We're thrilled to provide the stage for this boxing legend at our live performance venues and for millions of fans to experience Return of the Mike on Netflix.”

The show itself is written and directed by Kiki Tyson and produced by Exodus Entertainment, promising a raw, engaging format that captures the boxing icon’s complex intelligence and unique sense of humor.

The Hollywood filming date marks the penultimate stop on the limited tour before it wraps in Atlantic City. Tickets for the remaining performances are expected to sell quickly as fans rush to be part of the show that will become a major Netflix event in 2026.

  • Cincinnati, OH — Sunday, November 23, 2025, Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati
