Hornsby, who stars as boxing promoter Don King in the eight-episode series, said that “we try to honor Mike Tyson and show some truths” about his life.
Even with all of Tyson’s animosity, Hornsby said he would happily embrace a meeting with the Brooklyn native.
“If I was to bump into Mike Tyson I don’t think that he would have a problem with me personally. I don’t think his problem is with me [it’s] with others,” he said. “My feeling with Mike and Don [King] is that I did not look to denigrate them. I didn’t look to cast aspersions … I looked to honor Don King and his legacy and what he meant to the world of boxing.Hornsby plays Don King while Trevante Rhodes plays Tyson in the series.
“Hulu did not look to just denigrate Tyson, but this story is out there — so let’s have a conversation about what was being presented. I’m asking audiences to judge the show through today’s lens. Mike Tyson is a byproduct of being made in America … for better or worse.”
