Mike Tyson prepares Netflix documentary amid personal reflections

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is preparing for the release of a new Netflix documentary series titled ‘TYSON’, scheduled to premiere on October 13, 2026. The production aims to explore the most difficult periods of his life, including his struggles with drug addiction, his time in prison, and various personal losses.

Tyson recently shared reflections on his past, noting that he has been free from alcohol and cocaine for ten years, though he continues to use marijuana. He expressed gratitude for his past hardships, viewing them as essential to his personal growth.

In recent media appearances, Tyson also revisited a well-known anecdote regarding his ex-wife, actress Robin Givens, and actor Brad Pitt. Tyson recounted discovering Givens in a vehicle with Pitt during their divorce proceedings in the late 1980s. While Tyson described the encounter as a surprise, Givens has previously disputed his more explicit claims, stating they were simply returning from a film-related activity.
