Hulu had released a miniseries based on Tyson’s life, titled, ‘Mike’. The series saw Trevante Rhodes essaying the role of Tyson, while Harvey Kittel played Tyson’s trainer and father figure, Cus D’Amato.
Over the course of eight episodes, the series detailed the former champ’s meteoric rise to fame. And the wild and turbulent life outside the ring.

Moreover, a series of failed relationships only added fuel to the fire.
Juicy J, who recently saw the series, shared his thoughts on Tyson’s life. He stated that money, his addiction to cocaine, and the deceitful people around Tyson were the main reasons behind his rage inside the ring. The rapper further added that it was commendable that Tyson was able to turn his life around. Taking to his Twitter account, he wrote:
