(Also a cartoon.) But “Mike” does seem intent on ticking off the bullet points of Tyson’s life; its aspirations feel serious, even if the end product doesn’t always measure up. (The version here is less mean and self-serving than the one captured in the HBO special.) Indeed, Scorsese feels like an inspiration throughout, with short scenes and montages driven by narration, as in “Goodfellas”; the R&B soundtrack that accompanies scenes set in the mean streets of Brownsville, Brooklyn; the slow-motion parade of fighters’ faces being hit; the relentless restlessness of the camera work; and, not least, the casting of Keitel. The fifth episode, which concerns the rape case — denied by Tyson and many supporters — takes the smart, even necessary step of viewing events through the eyes of the victim. It’s the change of perspective the series needs and engenders fresh thoughts not only about Tyson, but the culture that reflexively supports a celebrity, not to mention a man against a woman. Tyson,” he’s told, “we never put a hot tub in a limousine before,” but money gets it done.) Promoter Don King (Russell Hornsby), sensing an opportunity, swoops in — a replacement father figure. Rhodes has a couple of sweet scenes with Chédra Arielle, as his sister, Denise, and a near-deathbed scene between Tyson and D’Amato, which might have been lifted whole from a Depression-era boxing film, is sentimentally effective: (Not to mention a recent [viral video](https://youtu.be/YKslPkjBDSs) in which he punches a fellow passenger who was annoying him on a plane.) Any biopic is a poor place to come in search of the truth. But every private conversation is a matter of invention, and every performance is a matter of interpretation. What’s more, even by his own admission, Tyson is such a self-contradictory figure — sensitive, violent, insecure, arrogant, thoughtful, impulsive, disciplined, undisciplined and, as he was coming up, literally a boy in his man’s body — that it’s hard to put a frame around him. There were cameras trained on him when he was still a teenager, living at manager/trainer/legal guardian Cus D’Amato’s house, and over the years he’s been the subject of many documentaries, made with or without his cooperation. He’s appeared as a cameo and occasionally a straight performer on television, in the movies and in music videos, most famously as the subject of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince’s “I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson.” He’s been a reliably entertaining guest on myriad late- and late-late-night talk shows.

Called “a crazy white dude” in the memoir version of Tyson’s Undisputed Truth, D’Amato utilized techniques like taking the future champ to a Manhattan hypnotherapist who read the boxing lifer’s exhortations that “this is what you were actually born to do.” The show has a lot of fun with D’Amato’s eccentricities, but it also accepts the conventional narrative wisdom that good ole’ Cus adopted and trained his son primarily out of altruism. “There is a quote in the SI story from a boxing analyst of that era basically saying Mike wasn’t a great technician but his power and speed were so incredible, you didn’t want to miss it.

He has changed his life for the better and he also has a long way to go toward reckoning with his past. We see that Tyson first developed a taste for violence in order to ward off the bullies picking on him in But through its first five episodes, at least, the details of Tyson’s story exist on an even plane, and it’s up to you to decide how you want to weigh them. Avoiding the shiny robes, colorful trunks, and bombastic entrances of his rivals, he strolled to the ring in plain black shorts, no towel, no walkout music, just He cries when his mom dies of cancer, cries when his first trainer wants to hand him off to a more experienced trainer, cries when he realizes his fighting skills ensure he “won’t ever get bullied no more,” cries when an article in Playboy states that the “best punch he ever threw” was at Robin Givens. The target of the show’s core critique doesn’t seem to be Tyson; it’s you and me, the viewers. In the 2008 documentary, he says he was “falsely accused of raping that wretched swine of a woman Desiree Washington.” In his Broadway show, he accuses Givens of using his fame to try to elevate hers, tells stories about her sexual exploits, makes fun of her hair, and denigrates her career. Mike serves as a critical reminder that leaving the stories of powerful people in their own hands appeases their interests at the expense of neutrality. I had that dichotomy in mind when I watched the five episodes provided to critics of Hulu’s new miniseries about his life, Mike, a dramatized biography that Tyson wasn’t involved in producing. Over the first four episodes we bounce between his contemporary performance and flashbacks to the past, all presented through his perspective, a distinctly sympathetic framing that highlights the steep obstacles he had to overcome on the road to fame and fortune. The quote I knew best was when he said of Lennox Lewis in 2000, “I want to eat his children.” I knew him as a legitimate danger to society, uncontrollable, impulsive, angry, the last person you’d want to get into an elevator with, a cold-blooded fighting machine who couldn’t seem to turn off his aggression when he stepped outside the ring. He [denied](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1988/10/15/tyson-strikes-back/6a165f82-7186-4cdb-8937-84e99904a4b8/) the allegations, claiming that she was trying to destroy his credibility to secure more money from the divorce.

Minor) falls in love with boxing and is sent to train with the legendary Cus D’Amato (Harvey Keitel), who tells him to “embrace his villainy” and becomes the father figure he never had—much to the disgust of his hard-knocks mother (Olunike Adeliyi), whom the series, as is its wont, vaguely depicts as both a tough abuse victim and nasty disciplinarian. If Mike never paints a wholly coherent picture of Tyson, it does find its footing when addressing the rape charges brought against the pugilist by Washington, a then-18-year-old college student and beauty pageant contestant who was sexually violated by the former champ on July 19, 1991. The show’s razzle-dazzle pace does it no favors in this regard, racing so hurriedly through Tyson’s stratospheric rise that a sense of his awe-inspiring skill and mercilessness never fully materializes. Rather than imagining everyone in shades of gray, the show mostly posits its players as a mess of good and evil, victim and victimizer. Tyson’s sentiment is meant to suggest that he’s a mass of contradictions who, on the one hand, is a sensitive and subtly smart guy who suffered at the hands of many, and who on the other hand is a rampaging brute with indefensibly vicious instincts. We’re all a bunch of things,” states Tyson during a performance of the one-man Las Vegas stage show that forms the structural skeleton of Mike (Aug.

Tyson's entry scene in Liger has also leaked on social media as the film hit the screens on Thursday. Mike Tyson's cameo role in Liger has divided the fans on social media.

He was married to actress Robin Givens, but just a year after they wed the relationship had crumbled. Tyson admitted he also borrowed money from a man in China to buy a mansion after moving out of his house in Las Vegas. I bought a lot of cars for girls too." "I have a big deep hole in me, but I had to have everything, all of it. He was out cold, convulsing on the floor." I had enough money left like two million dollars and I bought a house in Phoenix. He then rose to fame and was soon the most successful boxer in the world, but he then became known as 'The Baddest Man on the Planet'. In his autobiography, Mike wrote: "I was petrified when I was alone with him. "I then got locked up someplace as a kid and met some guy who used to be a fighter. That was the first fight ever in my life because of a pigeon. "I was fighting the kid, then fighting their fathers. He bounced from one rough area to the next and it has been reported that Mike had been arrested over 30 times before he turned 13.

The eight-part Hulu limited series Mike shines when "Moonlight" star Trevante Rhodes steps into the role of the infamous boxer.

Often the performance feels forced, with the noted Broadway and “BMF” actor never fully relaxing in the role. “Mike” will undoubtedly feel rushed because it covers so much ground so quickly when it feels like the show had time to linger. Again, “Mike” kicks butt, just not in the ways so many expect. Fortunately, “Mike” finds its groove when “Moonlight’s” Trevante Rhodes fully takes over in “Lover,” the series’ third episode. In a small amount of real estate, “Mike” questions many of boxing’s ethics while also confronting the boxer’s own self-loathing and destructive misogynistic behavior. Unlike Tyson in his heyday, “Mike” takes a minute to heat up.

The stars of Hulu's Mike—which depicts the turbulent life of boxer Mike Tyson—weren't able to speak with the men they played. In an exclusive chat with E!

"It would have been nice to have been able to sit down with Don for a cup of coffee, a cup of tea, something like that," Hornsby told E!. "I would like to give him a hug and ask him how he's doing." "It's being present and understanding that complexity of a man," he said. You'd have the opportunity to feel that heat with somebody to be able to convey it just a little bit better. "It would have been great for me to train with Mike, from just a feeling standpoint," Rhodes exclusively told E! 25, and he laments the fact that he wasn't able to touch gloves with Tyson in order to prepare.

On August 6th, Mike Tyson revealed his next opponent. No, the former heavyweight champion wasn't returning to the ring—this time, he'd be battling Hulu, ...

When Tyson is sent off to jail at the end of Tyson, you’d better believe we get an image of birds taking flight as a conveniently ironic visual juxtaposition. Bookended by Tyson’s conviction for raping Desiree Washington, Tyson incorporates Hollywood’s overused gimmick of selecting a single element from a young man’s life—in this case, his boyhood love of pigeons—to be a tragic Rosebud-like symbol of his lost innocence. But if it’s any consolation to showrunner Karin Gist and her creative team, which includes the I, Tonya duo of director Craig Gillespie and writer Steven Rogers, Hollywood has repeatedly gotten Tyson’s life wrong—not that Tyson has done any better when given the opportunity to control his own narrative.

The "I, Tonya" team delivers an unconvincing exercise in self-examination in "Mike," a boxing biopic that's more recycled than revelatory.

The shows title and tagline — “You may know Tyson, but do you know Mike?” — seem to hint at the desire to strip its subject of his notoriety, giving us a picture of someone who isn’t perfect, but who isn’t a monster, either. It’s a worthwhile experiment, one that Tyson himself has been engaged in for the later part of his career as he tries to get people to see through his notoriety, arrests, and ear-biting to the reflective man himself. While impressive from a visual standpoint, they miss out on any realistic portrayal of the sport and the thrill of seeing a fight play out in real time. [Mike](https://www.indiewire.com/t/mike/),” blood, sweat, and probably a few tears splatter off the faces of [Mike Tyson](https://www.indiewire.com/t/mike-tyson/)’s opponents in the ring. You might, however, choose to see it as an invitation to strip him of his power and see him as a mere mortal: just some guy named Mike. Cus molds Tyson into the fighter that would go on to become heavyweight champ, encouraging him to withhold his emotions both in and out of the ring. Even when he loses his first fight in a major upset to Buster Douglas in Tokyo, the circumstances are identical to, if not more tame than, Tyson’s explanation of why he was unfocused. [Trevante Rhodes](https://www.indiewire.com/t/trevante-rhodes/) (“Moonlight”) delivers an admirable performance as the adult Tyson, fully embodying both the fighter’s physical presentation and hyper-specific mannerisms as he addresses the crowd, from his soft voice to his surprisingly delicate on-stage gesticulations. Li Eubanks gives a stand-out performance as Desirée, a fresh-faced and intelligent high school senior from Coventry, Rhode Island competing in the Miss Black America pageant in Indianapolis. It’s hard to imagine what Tyson would take issue with in the show’s first four episodes, which depict him exactly as he’s described himself in his own words. [Hulu](https://www.indiewire.com/t/hulu/)’s limited series, helmed by Steven Rogers and Craig Gillespie (the writer and director behind “I, Tonya,” respectively), slows these moments down, intent on displaying the physical impact of Tyson’s superhuman strength on the body. This would be an intriguing framing device if it wasn’t borrowed from Tyson’s own one-man show “Undisputed Truth,” which premiered on Broadway in 2012 in a production directed by Spike Lee.

“Is [King] going to be looked at positively in what he has done with putting a lot of money in a lot of fighters pockets, and making money for a lot of people in this country … “Hulu did not look to just denigrate Tyson, but this story is out there — so let’s have a conversation about what was being presented. I don’t think his problem is with me [it’s] with others,” he said. “This announcement on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of the Tyson life story,” he wrote then. “This is a no-holds-barred look at Tyson and his life and you have to take the crooked with the straight. “I think what we had intended to do was tell his story.”

While it's unclear exactly what part Tyson's character has to play in the overarching narrative, his brief appearance in [the trailer for "Liger"](https://youtu.be/koYN8qSk_Us) seems to pit Henderson as some sort of antagonist to the central players. release date for the film has been announced, but given Mike Tyson's presence alone, some sort of Stateside run seems more a matter of "when," instead of "if."
