Life is inherently unpredictable. Just as a boxer cannot predict every move of their opponent, we cannot foresee every challenge or obstacle that life will throw at us. This unpredictability is the ‘punch in the mouth’ Tyson refers to. It is the unexpected setbacks that disrupt our plans and forces us to reassess our strategies.

Hulu’s official synopsis bills the show as "one wild ride" that "explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life - from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again."

Mike Tyson’s life and career are a testament to the indomitable human spirit. From his challenging upbringing to his rise to boxing stardom, Tyson’s journey is filled with valuable lessons and inspiring moments. Through resilience, determination, and personal growth, he overcame numerous obstacles to become one of the greatest boxers of all time.

"We just wanted to tell an unbiased story and have the audience decide what they think or feel. Challenging what people think they know about Mike and hoping that they come away from the series with something else to think about mike tyson life. Whether you like him or hate him, does the story make you question how complicit society has been? That was the intention."

In the U.S., the freedom to describe historical events is rooted in the free speech clause of the First Amendment, and it’s a fundamental principle that no one – whether it’s a news agency, political party or celebrity – holds a monopoly on the truth.

He's basically getting naked in front of the entire world by revealing the details of the darkest moments of his life. Most of us wouldn't be able to tell this truth to our friends. Still, Tyson tells it to millions of people.

Tyson, however, wasn't worried. He still had his millions, he still had his undefeated pro career, and he still had his title. In April, 1989, he successfully defended the latter two against England's Frank Bruno, easily over-powering him in the fifth round. Then, on June 27 in Atlantic City, in what may have been his greatest night in the ring, he floored former champ Michael Spinks in all of 90 seconds. Then, on February 10, 1990, the unthinkable happened in Tokyo. James "Buster" Douglas, a 42-1 underdog who couldn't even get a photographer to come to his weigh-in, came back from an eighth round knockdown to fell the champ in the tenth. It was impossible, and at first, Don King wouldn't let it happen. He got representatives from the WBC, the WBA, and even the Japan Boxing Commission to declare that Douglas should have been counted out in the eighth round, awarding the fight to Tyson. But King too suffered a rare defeat, and in the face of enormous public outrage, the fight and the title were soon awarded to Buster Douglas.

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers of all time. Over his career, "Iron Mike" had 50 wins, including 44 knockouts, and only six losses. Coming from a difficult childhood, during which he was surrounded by crime and poverty, he escaped his circumstances through a laserlike focus on his dream of athletic greatness. And he realized that dream by becoming the world heavyweight champion at the age of 20, in 1986.

And Tyson wasn't finished, with boxing or with outrages. On October 19, 1998, the Nevada State Boxing Commission restored Tyson's boxing license. In December of 1998, he pled no contest to a road rage incident and spent a short time in jail the following March. That year he also initiated a $100 million lawsuit against Don King after discovering that his $200 million career winnings had dwindled away, and that in fact he owed $13 million in back taxes. In the summer of 2000, after knocking down an opponent, Lou Savarese, he continued to pound the fighter and even lashed out at the referee. Incredibly, in the post-fight press conference, Tyson revived his cannibal image in remarks addressed to heavyweight champ Lennox Lewis , whom Tyson hoped to meet in the ring some day. "I want your heart. I want to eat your children," Tyson declared, adding, "I will rip out his heart and feed it to him."

The project is expected to be shopped to various streaming outlets and networks and comes on the heels of Hulu announcing in February its own Tyson limited series, Iron Mike, from the team behind I, Tonya. Tyson previously slammed the Hulu project as "tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of my life story … to make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for Black story rights. Hollywood needs to be more sensitive to Black experiences especially after all that has transpired in 2020."

Tyson's winning streak came to an end on February 11, 1990, when he lost his championship belt to boxer Buster Douglas in Tokyo, Japan. Tyson, the clear favorite, sent Douglas to the mat in the eighth round, but Douglas came back in the tenth, knocking Tyson out for the first time in his career.

King was once the supreme overlord of the realm of boxing—everything he touched turned to gold. But in regards to the fighters he promoted and managed—everyone he touched turned to (expletive). Tyson was just one of many fighters that fell under the spell of the charismatic silver-tongued and silver-haired promoter.
