The three-part series follows Tyson – known as The Gypsy King – last year as he prepares to take on the biggest fight of his life against world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, 34. They fought to a controversial draw but will clash again in a February 22 rematch. It also follows Tyson’s mental health battles. He spent years crippled with depression and was diagnosed with both OCD and bipolar. At his lowest point, he wanted to kill himself.
He says: “I haven’t defeated mental health.
“I still have bad days and good days, but I learn to maintain and that’s it.”
