Mike Tyson pulls out of Roast of Ric Flair

Mike Tyson, who earlier this week was announced for the Roast of Ric Flair, has pulled out of the event just days after Starrcast announced his participation.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mike will not be participating in the roast,” a spokesman for Tyson said.

Tyson and Flair are business partners with Tyson’s company Tyson 2.0 to start producing and marketing cannabis products featuring the likeness of the Nature Boy in the United States.

The roast, as part of Starrcast V and taking place from the Nashville Fairgrounds, will happen on Friday, July 29, on the eve of SummerSlam. Diamond Dallas Page and Eric Bischoff have been announced as guests.
