There is a new documentary about Mike Tyson coming out soon, appropriately titled Tyson.

Directed by James Toback, the documentary covers the many escapades of his life & also includes interviews with Tyson.

Is there any athlete who has had a more notorious life that is more worthy of a documentary? Between his in-the-ring issues and out-of-the-ring issues, Tyson is certainly a compelling subject.

So far, Tyson has been around the festival circuit (including winning the Regard Knockout Award at last year’s Cannes Film Festival), but will see a limited release here in the United States on April 24. Judging by the trailer, it will at least be worthy of a Netflix rental.
