CRAZY MIKE TYSON STORY IS GOING TO THE BIG SCREEN
Hollywood producers are making a movie based on his life.
The boxer - who became the youngest heavyweight champion when he won the title aged 20 in 1986 - has contributed more than 30 hours of interviews for the project.
"I will, to the best of my abilities, give a truthful account of myself," he said.
The film, titled 'Tyson', will be directed by James Toback, who has known the fighter since 1985."The point is not to polish his image or make a cinematic apology, but rather to get a first-hand look at a very complex and epic story," said Toback.
"He was honest about all the things that have highlighted his life, from the bitter divorce, the ear-biting, prison, to his becoming a sex addict. He is self-aware, smart and a totally fractured personality, and he made himself completely vulnerable."
Toback adds the film, due out later this year.
