Actor Jamie Foxx is bulking up to play Mike Tyson in an upcoming biopic.

Foxx says his daily workout routine includes “60 pull-ups, 60 dips, 100 push-ups” to build up his upper body.

However, Foxx admits he’s skipping leg day, saying “I ain’t got no calf muscles so we’re gonna have to get some prosthetics for that.”

The 52-year-old Foxx, who also co-starred in the 2001 Muhammad Ali biopic Ali, will play both Young Mike and Old Mike in the movie.
