Mike Tyson is a truelegend both in the ring and in the real life. With nicknames such as “Kid Dynamite,” “Iron Mike,” and “The Baddest Man on the Planet,” it is not unexpected 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, Mike is also the youngest boxer to win the WBA, WBC, and IBF world heavyweight titles, and also the first to hold these titles simultaneously. In 2011, he was also inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame and in March 2012, into the WWE Hall of Fame. Tenacious, talented, and thrilling to watch, Tyson embodies the grit and electrifying excitement of the sport.
Mike is also performing on the stage, with an extraordinary one-man show titled “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.” Following the show’s successful Vegas debut, famed director Spike Lee brought it to Broadway in July 2012. “Undisputed Truth” is the raw, no-holds-barred real-life story of the legend himself as it has never been known before. In his appearances, Tyson unveils never-before-toldstories, peeling back layers of tragedy and public turmoil while unfolding his tale of triumph and survival. In an up-close-and-personal setting, Tyson shares the stories of his life and experiences as a professional athlete and controversies in and out of the ring. Intimate, theatrical, and unprecedented, he reveals the man behind the myth. “Undisputed Truth” was such a smash hit on Broadway that it is being taken on a national tour.
Tyson’s ability to make crowds excited is not only limited to his appearances in the ring – his career in entertainment spans blockbuster movies (The Hangover and The Hangover 2), television (Animal Planet’s Taking on Tyson), and his own clothing company. Tyson is also the CEO of his own production company, Tyrannic Productions, and currently has a few film projects in development.
Mike Tyson is currently retired from boxing and is based in Las Vegas, the city that he electrified on so many fight nights over the past two decades. Tyson launched his own charity, The Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, on December 7th, 2012,in an effort to make the world a better place. The Foundation’s mission is to “give kids a fighting chance” by providing innovative centers that offer services to meet the comprehensive needs of kids from broken homes.
