The trailer revisits Tyson’s 2015 fight against Wladimir Klitschko and his struggle to find purpose after achieving his childhood ambitions. Tyson discusses experiencing suicidal thoughts, while his father John describes the impact of stepping away from boxing as unexpectedly deep.
The film traces Tyson’s life from childhood through to his boxing career, combining interviews with previously unseen archive footage.
