Summary
AnElden Ringplayer welcomed a Furled Finger cooperator who created a Mike Tyson character, complete with a build and appropriate attire to match those of “Iron Mike” when he was a professional boxer. The Tyson character, who simply goes by “Mike Tyson” as a Furled Finger player, appears ready for battle upon being summoned through an Effigy of the Martyr inElden Ring.
Elden Ringplayers have been thoroughly creative in the ways that they generate their character models in the game. Thanks to the in-game multiplayer items that allow for PvP or co-op gameplay (which includes the variety of Furled Fingers and small Effigies), players can encounter a wide variety of warriors that mimic famous people and characters. There’s almost no shortage of what players can come up with, such asBoomhauer fromKing of the Hillor even Taylor Swift forElden Ringplayers to interact with. As gamers continue to discover more unique characters through the Effigies in the game, there’s another that they can potentially summon if they’re looking to add an extra punch to the experience.
Upon activating an Effigy of the Martyr inElden Ring, Reddit user Hasyahshin shared a post where they summoned a player whose character model resembles Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight champion in boxing. Equipped with two Iron Balls, white shorts, and boots, the boxingTarnished inElden Ringstands ready to aid Hasyahshin in battle. There is another Furled Finger cooperator in the Reddit post alongside the Mike Tyson character, though their name can’t fully be deciphered. Regardless, the focus of the post is directed at the player mirroring Mike Tyson. The caption only reads, “Context of this,” welcoming any interpretations.
Player Hasyahshin doesn’t provide any additional context regarding the encounter with Mike Tyson, leaving it up to other gamers to make their assumptions about the nature of the character. Many relied on humor and references to Tyson, including his former status on being the heavyweight champion, Evander Holyfield’s ear, theMike Tyson MysteriesTV show, and more. “What are the lore implications of this,” inquires one user. “The lore implications are that he’s Mike Tyson,” one response reads.
This isn’t the first time that players have run intoMike Tyson inElden Ring, or more so created a model after him with the game’s character creation tool. Some time ago, another Reddit user shared their character model of the former heavyweight champion, though that post has since been deleted.
WhileElden Ringwas released on Jul 14, 2025, players are still coming up with new ways to model their characters that impersonate famous people, both real and fictional. If players aren’t looking to make unique models, they’re bound to run into some recognizable ones through the multiplayer components of the game. The post featuring Mike Tyson is just an example of what the Effigies of the Martyr can bring about inElden Ring’s open-world gameplay.
