According to recent reports the former heavyweight champion of the world made a visit to Portland Oregon last week to meet with executives from the Jordan Brand.

Over the last several years the premier Jordan Brand has been working hard at gaining market share within the boxing apparel and gear industry signing boxers Roy Jones Jr. and Andre Ward to the list of high profile athletes under the Jordan brand.

A talk of the former heavyweight champion of the world joining the Jordan brand has certainly caught attention from the sport of boxing with positive feedback. I mean when you think of boxing is there a bigger name than Mike Tyson? Adding a high profile boxing legend like Mike Tyson to mix could be exactly what the Jordan Brand needs to gain market share and attention as a leader in the sport of boxing.

While there is no doubt that Tyson has led a life of controversy outside, and even inside the ring, the former heavyweight champion has addressed his life struggles with drugs and alcohol and is now living a clean and sober life with his wife Kiki and two children in Las Vegas. Tyson stars in his “one man show” The Undisputed Truth which has had amazing success featuring him alone on stage telling the struggles and triumphs of his life. The show is reportedly getting ready for an international tour starting in late 2013 and early 2014. He also has a show airing on Fox Sports 1 titled: Being Mike Tyson which has captured a large following.

The success in the documentation of his life speaks to the amazing following the former heavyweight champ still carries, even beyond the sport of boxing. While details on the deal are still unclear, one thing is for sure, Mike Tyson would be an invaluable asset to the Jordan Brand and a strategic partnership for both.

Fanscreens an online marketing agency based out of Florida is said to be spearheading the deal between the two parties.

Mike Tyson to become a Jordan Brand Ambassador

According to recent reports from local Portland Media, Mike Tyson met with executives of the Jordan Brand at the Nike World Headquarters in Portland Oregon last week. The Jordan Brand has been paving its way into the world of boxing signing boxers Roy Jones Jr. And Andre Ward in recent years, so it would be no surprise to hear of such a deal developing between the two.

Could this make Mike Tyson a Jordan Brand Ambassador? I think it may be too early to tell, however there is no denying the incredible accomplishments Tyson achieved during his boxing career. Mike Tyson still holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles at 20 years old, and the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles.

Mike Tyson has worked hard to change his image outside of the ring. Tyson, now married to Kiki Tyson(Lakiha ****er) lives in Las Vegas with their two children Milan and Morocco. Tyson has established a charity foundation- Mike Tyson Cares, with the mission to “give kids a fighting chance.”

Tyson has also launched a broadway style show called Mike Tyson: The Undisputed Truth directed by ****e Lee and is the star of his own show on Fox Sports 1- Being Mike Tyson. His efforts to live a clean and sober life are evident which could make him a perfect fit for such a role while helping up and coming boxers.

The deal between Tyson and the Jordan Brand was developed over the last several months by Matt Jones a representative of FS Online Marketing, a marketing agency based out of Miami Florida.

Former Heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson still holds the records as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA, and IBF heavyweight titles and is considered one of the best heavyweight fighters of all times. Securing a deal with Tyson could be a huge score for the Jordan Brand amongst the sport of boxing.

Retiring in 2006 Mike Tyson has been out of the sport of boxing for a while, at least as a fighter, but still remains an avid fan of the sport and icon. He also recently stepped into the promotional end of the sport under Iron Mike Productions.
