Documentary on Mike Tyson's life airing on ABC
A detailed documentary on the legendary boxer's controversial life is currently available to viewers on ABC and Hulu.
Mike Tyson: The Knockout is a two-episode, four-hour storytelling of the rises and pitfalls of Mike Tyson's career and personal life. According to Brian Lowry of The Philadelphia Tribune, the documentary draws its strength from the many interviews with prominent personalities.
Mike Tyson: The Knockout received mixed reviews after the first part of the documentary aired on ABC.
"Mike Tyson: The Knockout initially feels like it’s simply retracing the same old steps, charting the boxer’s epic rise, fall and attempted comeback. After the first few rounds, though, this two-part ABC documentary lands some pretty compelling blows, particularly in highlighting the difference 25 years made in terms of Tyson’s third act following his rape conviction," Brian Lowry writes.
The first episode of Mike Tyson: The Knockout is streaming on Hulu, and the second episode will air on June 1 at 8 pm ET on ABC and will be available on Hulu the next day.
