For most people, telling their story in film or on television requires plenty of embellishment to make it interesting enough to put on screen. Not so for Mike Tyson. As he lived it, the former boxing champion’s life is almost too wild to be believed.
The US adult model and Tyson dated each other back in 1996. As per reports, they were close to each other and were also rumored to have tied the knot. But they didn’t and eventually parted ways soon eno
I had that dichotomy in mind when I watched the five episodes provided to critics of Hulu’s new miniseries about his life, Mike, a dramatized biography that Tyson wasn’t involved in producing. Created by Steven Rogers, who wrote the screenplay for I, Tonya, and starring Trevante Rhodes as Tyson, the show comes out today. I was skeptical, ready to pounce on yet another pillar upholding his reinvention without reckoning with the damage he has cau
Round 5: Williams lets his hands go but gets clipped by a solid left on the counter. Another left scores by Sheeraz. Williams gets some rhythm and finds the left hand again. Sheeraz gets back on the left jab, which is a quickly loaded punch that’s keeping the American honest.
“You have to keep the fire on blue. When the fire is on blue, you have control of the fire,” Cordeiro says, comparing Tyson to a stove. “Mike has control of the fire. But when you step inside the ring, he knows how to go high as fast as possi
In an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast, Tyson told Rogan and comedian Tom Segura the story almost exactly as it’s shown in “Mike.” Tyson said he reacted enthusiastically to the prospect of loading up his exotic cars with dangerous animals and ordered two tiger cubs. He told Rogan and Segura, “Imagine that, man, you’d be in an Aston Martin or a Ferrari having a tiger right next to you?” Tyson eventually sold or gave away his menagerie of dangerous predators, but he has always seemed more comfortable around animals than people.
Round 5: Right hand from Hutchinson. BIG left hook-right hand from Hutchinson. Right to the body from the Scotsman who is now putting on a clinic. Big attack rocks Richards badly.

The 28-year-old Tyson was released from prison on March 25, 1995. He emerged from prison with tattoos of tennis star Arthur Ashe and communist leader Mao Zedong on his arms. He went to a nearby mosque and met with boxing great Muhammad Ali immediately after he left the prison grounds. Though many boxing promoters and managers had courted the fighter in prison, it was Don King who negotiated a deal with Showtime on his fighter’s first day out of prison.
As his game was falling apart, so was Tyson’s marriage to Givens. Allegations of spousal abuse began to surface in the media in June of 1988, and Givens and her mother demanded access to Tyson’s money for a down payment on a $3 million home in New Jersey. That same year, police were called to Tyson’s home after he began throwing furniture out of the window and forced Givens and her mother to leave the h
Warner Brothers responded on Friday in a brief to Judge Catherine D. Perry, stating that any delay in releasing the film would have huge economic costs. It also argued that there was no legal precedent for Mr. Whitmill’s assertion of copyright, saying he had put forward a “radical claim that he is entitled, under the Copyright Act, to control the use of a tattoo that he created on the face of another human being.”
