A 49 year old retired boxer is suing Mike Tyson for $15 million over the nickname Iron Mike.
Mike Landrum is suing Mike Tyson, claiming he was using the moniker 'Iron Mike' first and that Mike Tyson cost him sponsorships and major title fights because of the confusion.
Landrum filed his lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles, claiming he owns the trademark to the nickname "Iron Mike" -- and therefore, Tyson infringed on his rights by using the nickname throughout his boxing career.
Landrum is representing himself in court.
