Review

Jack Seale

As a biography where the main interviewee is Mike Tyson himself, this series comes with a warning: it’s about a convicted rapist who maintains his innocence, and although the relevant episode – the third of the four – does a reasonable job at presenting the facts, it inevitably sympathises with Tyson’s denials.

If that’s something you can lay aside, the rest of it is fascinating, especially the opening episode about a bullied kid from one of the worst neighbourhoods in America, who was saved by maverick boxing trainer Cus D’Amato. Tyson became a phenomenon, revolutionising the sport’s fortunes – but behind the knockout performances was a lost, damaged, dangerous young man ill-equipped for fame and fortune.
