New Delhi: As anticipation for the premiere of Bigg Boss 19, speculation is heating around the star-staded lineup, with the report now suggesting that veteran American boxer Mike Tyson is in advanced talks for the wild card entry at the show.
Mike Tyson in talks for wild-card entry
After earlier rumors about the WWE icon, Undertaker, who joined the controversial reality series, has now reported that there is a discussion to bring Mike Tyson on board for a brief but high-affected appearance. If finalized, Tyson is expected to enter the house in October for a guest tenure lasting a week to ten days in October.

“We are in advanced discussion with Tyson and his team, and are currently negotiating their fees. If the deal works, they are expected to enter the house in October for a week or 10 days. However, the dates are yet to be finalized,” a formula for production was detected for the Bombay Times.
A strategic move to promote global appeal
Manufacturers believe that the feature of global sports icons such as Tyson can significantly increase the show’s international appeal. “We did not have international celebrities in some time, and he played an important role in increasing the show’s appeal during his earlier season,” said the source.
