TV: 'Being Mike Tyson'

Ever since I was a child, Mike Tyson has not only been heralded as one of the greatest athletes of all time but, he's also been vilified by the majority of the mainstream masses as some kind of uncontrollable brute akin to something they dreamed up out of Birth Of A Nation - much to my disdain.

With this mini docu-series though, viewers are able to see Tyson as he is today, while he conducts his live one man show, through which he shares the numerous ups & down's of his life.

Offering a genuinely humanized presentation of himself for those who'v ever had negative misconceptions about who he was and really is, Tyson comes across as what I've personally always thought of him to be underneath it all; a gentle giant.

Episode 3 airs tonight here in the UK on the Fox channel (Sky 124) at 10pm and remaining episodes will follow at the same time every Wednesday night for the next 3 weeks.

In case you missed Episode's 1 & 2, you're bound to find them uploaded somewhere in cyberspace!
