Mike Tyson returns to your homes, away from the boxing rings and the court houses, in his six-part documentary "Being Mike Tyson." After airing two episodes, the third episode will be released. This time, it might be a little harder to watch the documentary, but we bring all the info you have to know. We bring you TV channel and times of "Being MIke Tyson" as episode two hits the airwaves tonight.
Date: Tuesday, October 1
Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
TV Channel- Where to Watch? FOX Sports 1
That is the bad news, the documentary will air on FOX Sports 1 rather than FOX, making it a little tougher for people to watch. On Sunday, the day episode one premiered, fans were able to watch the documentary through regular cable. Episode 2, which aired on Tuesday evening, was shown via FOX Sports 1.
For those who missed the first episode, not much went on. Don't mean to spoil it if you are trying to catch up, but Tyson revisited an old enemy now turned friend. If you guess Evander Holyfield, you are correct. Tyson visited Holyfield and the two broke down their feelings before and after the bout labeled "The Fight of the Century." This was the bout Tyson took a bite out of Holyfield, worsening his reputation and gaining Iron Mike more haters. Even lifelong supporters found no reason to like the sports' deadliest knockout artist.
Episode 2 went a little deeper, going into Iron Mike's toughest moments when he spent time in jail for a crime he says he never committed. Then was also a behind the scenes look juxtaposing Iron Mike before his bouts and a now stage-performing Tyson preparing for his shows. It's a bit scary because they share a lot of similarities, though they are different industries and different Tysons.
Episode 3? Well, you would probably have to be in Tyson's entourage or a FOX Sport 1 employee to know what's included in there. However, one thing we do know is that Tyson is trying to show as many human experiences as possible. Once referred to as the "Deadliest Man on the Planet," Tyson is trying to break that wall and allow people in his life and see him for what he is now.
Tyson was troubled, but he was also guided by the wrong crowd. We might see that side of his life, the money-making, money-blowing Tyson, but that's the man that is now in the past. Through this documentary, it seems as though Tyson is trying to redeem himself with society so they can drop all the labels and see him for what he is; another human being.
