adminTyson, the former heavyweight world champion and self-styled “baddest man on the planet”, debuted the show in Las Vegas in April, pulling few punches in recounting the highs and highly publicised lows of his career.
Now he plans to bring the show to the Longacre Theatre, in what will be a Broadway debut for both Tyson and Lee.
“I’m very vulnerable and I’m just telling you who I am and where I’m from and how this happened,” Tyson said at a news conference at the Longacre.
Tyson, who like Lee hails from Brooklyn, gained fame in 1986 when he became the youngest ever heavyweight world champion at the age of 20.
But fame and fortune were accompanied by turmoil, including a prison sentence for rape, drug addiction and bursts of temper outside the ring that made him tabloid fodder. — Sapa.
