Directed by Academy Award nominee Spike Lee, this riveting one-man show goes beyond the headlines, behind the scenes and between the lines to deliver a must-see theatrical knockout.

Mike Tyson is a larger-than-life legend both in and out of the ring. Tenacious, talented, and thrilling to watch, Tyson embodies the grit and electrifying excitement of the sport. With nicknames such as "Iron" Mike, Kid Dynamite, and The Baddest Man on the Planet, it's no surprise that Tyson's legacy is the stuff of legend. Tyson was one of the most feared boxers in the ring -- and one look at his resume proves he is one of boxing's greats. Aside from having been the undisputed heavyweight champion, Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the World Boxing Council, World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation world heavyweight titles. He was the first heavyweight boxer to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles simultaneously. In 2011, Tyson was also inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. Tyson's enduring mass appeal owes not only to his incomparable athleticism, but to his huge personality and unrivaled showmanship. And his ability to work a crowd extends far beyond the ring -- Tyson's career in entertainment spans blockbuster movies ("The Hangover" and "The Hangover 2"), television (Animal Planet's "Taking on Tyson"), and his own clothing company (shirts are available on his website). Tyson is also the CEO of his own Production Company, Tyrannic Productions, and currently has several film projects in development.
