Mike Tyson recalls being 'addicted to chaos' in 'Tyson' docuseries
The four-part series features Tyson’s first-person account of fame, controversy and redemption, with Netflix sharing a trailer ahead of the debut.
Netflix confirmed its four-part docuseries Tyson will premiere globally on October 13, promising an unfiltered account of the boxer's life told largely in his own words.
Tracing his meteoric rise as the youngest heavyweight champion ever, the series explores the sports legend's journey from his chaotic upbringing in Brooklyn to global superstardom.
In a newly released trailer, the 60-year-old recalls being "addicted to chaos" at the height of his fame, while his children suggest that "inside, there's a broken guy just trying to be a good father."
Directed by Floyd Russ, the series features executive producers including Bill Simmons and Amanda Spain; Netflix also announced a one-man show, Mike Tyson: Return of the Mike, debuting November 3.
Nearly four decades after reigning as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, the boxing icon stepped back into the ring in 2024 to face Jake Paul in a record-breaking live event.
