Mike Tyson May Enter Bigg Boss 19 As Wild-Card Contestant, Negotiations In Final Stage
Bigg Boss 19 may see former boxing legend Mike Tyson enter the house as a wild-card contestant. Talks are in advanced stages, with his entry expected in October.
'Bigg Boss 19', hosted by Salman Khan, is set for its grand launch this weekend, and if reports are to be believed, fans may witness an unexpected global twist. The makers are reportedly in advanced discussions with former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson to join the reality show as a wild-card contestant.
Mike Tyson’s Possible Stint in Bigg Boss House
According to a report by Bombay Times, Tyson’s team and the showrunners are still finalising negotiations around his appearance and fee. If the deal materialises, the boxing icon is expected to make his entry into the Bigg Boss house in October. His stay could last for a week to 10 days.
“We are in advanced discussions with Tyson and his team, and are currently negotiating his fee. If the deal works out, he is expected to enter the house in October for a week or 10 days. The dates, however, are yet to be finalised,” a source was quoted as saying in the report.
The show’s creative team feels Tyson’s participation could reignite the excitement that international celebrities once brought to the franchise. “We haven’t had international celebrities in a while, and they played a key role in boosting the show’s appeal during its earlier seasons,” the source added.
