Controversial boxer Mike Tyson refused the opportunity to star in an X-rated film, after having publicly expressed his intention to get a part in such a movie.

Earlier this year Tyson, 39, revealed he was interested into breaking the porn industry, after being approached by Jenna Jameson's representatives.

According to Boxingtalk.com, Tyson stated: "I've talked to some people, I just talked to a gentleman named Jimmy, whose involved with Club Jenna, you know Jenna Jameson," said Tyson. "They said they were interested in getting me involved in that kind of business as well.

'Yeah, the adult film industry" added Tyson.

But now it appears that Tyson has refused the offer, due to some moral issues, the president of Zero Tolerance Greg Alves confirming Mike's decision.

Alves said: "We're a little disappointed and a little bit surprised. The response we received hinted Mike might have some moral issues with being associated with the adult industry".

Previously, American boxing journalist Pedro Fernandez had tipped Tyson for success in the sex industry - because he allegedly has a 14-inch manhood.

He explained: "According to court documentation from Tyson's rape trial, his member is at least 14-inch long.
If Tyson brings out some of the ferocity that made him a champion, he could definitely become a successful porn star"
