Mike Tyson and his wife, Lakiha, face a High Court lawsuit in London seeking £1.5 million over a sponsorship arrangement with a gambling company called Rabona. The claim is that Tyson withdraws from a campaign after agreeing to appear in promotional material that includes a giant talking pigeon, and the company alleges this amounts to a breach of contract.

Tyson and his promotional business, Tyrannic, deny breaching the agreement. Court coverage reports that the boxer’s position is that he does not breach the deal and disputes the reasons given by the gambling company. Details described by outlets also link the dispute to broader promotional plans, including an announced fight with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul under a separate Netflix-related arrangement. The hearing continues as the parties present their cases.
