One year after entering the International Boxing Hall of Fame, former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will be the recipient of a second induction honoring his ring exploits as a WWE performer.
World Wrestling Entertainment will induct Tyson on March 31 in Miami, the day before the 28th installment of the company’s biggest annual event, Wrestlemania.
“I am honored to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame,” said Tyson in a prepared statement. “I was the youngest heavyweight champion of all time, but the most fun I ever had in the ring was with WWE.”
Tyson began a working relationship with WWE in 1998 while serving an indefinite suspension for biting off Evander Holyfield’s ear the previous year. Tyson worked as a special referee for the Wrestlemania XIV main event between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels. He reportedly received $3 million for the role.
Tyson returned to WWE in 2011 on an episode of Monday Night RAW where he helped Triple H and Shawn Michaels defeat Chris Jericho.
Tyson will be the only non-wrestling celebrity inducted this year along with in-ring competitors Mil Mascaras, Edge and the Four Horsemen.
