A new feature-length documentary will chart the sensational highs and lows of two of the most famous boxers from the '90s, Mike Tyson and Frank Bruno.More than 30 years ago, both men squared off against each other in Las Vegas with the WBA, WBC, IBF and lineal heavyweight championships up for grabs.However, the road to their famous first encounter was far from straightforward.Before they touched gloves, their contest had been arranged and cancelled five times, owing to Tyson's contractual issues, a car crash, a divorce and injuries that Tyson sustained in a street fight.While Bruno would lose the fight, six years later, he would lift a world title, out-scoring Oliver McCall at Wembley Stadium to reign for six months before losing the belt in his final contest to none other than Tyson.In terms of the official synopsis, the documentary tells the story of: "One hero, one villain: this is the story of America’s ‘baddest man on the planet’ Iron Mike Tyson as the friend and enemy of Britain’s gentle giant, Frank Bruno and the fascinating story of the way their lives remained connected. Tyson had been out of the ring eight months, while Bruno had not fought in twice as long. But behind the headlines and hype that surrounded both fighters, their lives were connected like two sides of the same coin. Tyson’s own biographer, Larry Sloman, uses the segment to engage in some casual victim blaming, while Tyson at least offers a version of the story that involves no criminal activity and alleges his victim only accused him because she was mad he didn’t walk her out of his hotel. The documentary covers well-trod ground with little new to say (even when Tyson himself is nattering away about all manner of things). No matter how one feels about the accusations of abuse, violence, and rape that followed Tyson for decades, “Tyson” provides zero fresh insight. There’s no question Tyson has been subjected to tremendous tragedy, and if anything, “Tyson” is less about people “fucking with him” than people being taken from him, from his mother to his beloved manager and trainer Cus D’Amato, all of whom haunt the film and Tyson himself.For all the depth of feeling Tyson is able to conjure in regards to his own trauma, crying and screaming in equal measure, both Tyson the man and “Tyson” the film have little interest in digging into the pain of others in his life. While Michaels’ truncated documentary draws a straight line through Tyson’s life, all the better to zip through a fraught existence with the minimum of genuine reflection, even Tyson balks at connecting the dots so easily, instead viewing his life through a thematic lens, a series of stories involving people “fucking with him.”Perhaps that’s true, but it’s a concept Michaels fails to interrogate, instead ceding narrative control over to Tyson and a series of talking heads who only spout facts (or, at least, their idea of “facts”) about Tyson’s life, barely considering the deeper implications of a story that demands more introspection. I grew up watching Mike Tyson back in the days when his fights were free on HBO / Showtime.
