The show is written by Tyson's third wife, Kiki, and "touches on the 46-year-old's early childhood, boxing career and headline-worthy moments," the Times reports. It includes Tyson talking about such topics as his rape conviction, his famous ear-biting incident with Evander Holyfield, the 2009 accidental death of his 4-year-old daughter and his bout with alcoholism.
