Actually I like this news, I was skeptical in the past about Tyson's line of BTMs but it turned out they are quite OK.
Of course I won't be using this wallet myself, but I think it is a great way to promote cryptocurrency among general, not familiar with bitcoin public.
Mike Tyson could be a good ambassador for Cryptocurrencies and convert many potential non-believers.

Whether the rumors of Hulk Hogan missing out on the George Foreman Grill endorsement contract are true or not, Mike Tyson isn’t about to let the same thing happen to him with the future of digital currencies. He’s now endorsing his own digital wallet, putting the value of his name to hardware that makes it easier to hold on to your virtual cash.
The company whose product he’s actually endorsing is Bitcoin Direct, a subsidiary of Connexus Corporation, which previously announced another partnership with Tyson making Bitcoin ATMs more broadly available. The digital wallet, while compatible with those same machines, is an entirely different piece of kit.
The wallet, which is app-based, is designed to bring Bitcoins to smartphones in an easier manner than ever before. Users will be able to buy and sell the coins through the app, setting certain thresholds for minimum amounts, letting them quickly confirm payments over the platform, without risking losing all of their crypto-currency through a glitch or via hacking.
