Mike Tyson has plans for a new version of a classic video game series.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion wants to release a Punch-Out!! game that incorporates his cannabis company, Tyson Ranch, he told Asif Khan of Shacknews.

"Hey listen, we're going to start our own Punch-Out!! game and our own Tyson Ranch computer game and bring it back to life, man," he said. "Bring back Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!"

Tyson appeared as a character in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! in the 1980s, but was replaced by the fictional Mr. Dream after Nintendo's license to use his likeness expired.

The 53-year-old is currently training for a possible return to the ring and has expressed interest in doing exhibition bouts for charity.
