The former heavyweight champion reportedly had a promotional agreement with Medier, a business that advertises Rabona, an online casino and betting website, but Tyson is alleged to have fallen short of his obligations.
According to reports, the firm, which filed the lawsuit in London back in October, is accusing the veteran fighter and his business Tyrannic of violating.
A January contract on the day the Netflix special was revealed in March. The company claims Medier violated the agreement due to a scheduling problem.
But according to the lawsuit, Medier lost almost $1.59 million because of Tyson. According to The New York Post, the company’s attorney argued in documents made public on Friday.
That “the true reason for Mr. Tyson and Tyrannic’s hasty and unlawful termination was because Mr. Tyson had agreed [to] a deal, sponsored by Netflix, to fight the influencer Jake Paul.”
