Fan CastingMike Tyson's Punch-Out!!: The Movie

A Bronx male prostitute, Macnair Travolta, always dreamed of becoming a rich plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, but his small stature made his goal all but impossible. After his grandmother is raped and murdered, leaving him with nothing but debts and her diarrhetic chihuahua, Macnair attempts to kill himself by jumping off the Triborough Bridge. By an extreme coincidence, boxing's W.V.B.A. Champion, Super Macho Man, happens to drive past the distraught young man, taunting Macnair to jump to his death. After washing down the river for a few miles, Macnair is rescued by Doc Louis, a boxing trainer who was riding a stolen bike, who helps him unlock his hidden potential as a boxer, now christened "Little Mac". As Little Mac climbs the boxing ranks, his revenge against Super Macho Man becomes a reality during a showdown in Las Vegas. His success and accomplishments are put on the line when Don King offers Little Mac an opportunity few would have the courage to accept: a dream bout with the baddest man on the planet, Mike Tyson!
