Wasn't even aware of it, I'll check it out

yea saw it when I was a kid. Michael Jai White played Tyson and although he wasn't that great as Tyson, the script and supporting cast did a great damn job. it really looks at Tyson's background and his temper problems that led to other things

Since there has already been a Tyson biopic made by HBO back in the day that covered his whole life, this biopic may be a particular segment of his life, like starting at his Buster Douglas title loss and going to current times...


I remember they already did "TV movie" called "Tyson Uncaged" played by Michael Jai White, he did great job plays Mike Tyson. It was in 1995
