Cannes and 'Tyson'
May 18th 2008 18:07
The 41-year-old former boxer got a prolonged ovation at the Cannes screening for "Tyson," directed by his old friend James Toback ("Fingers").
According to Associated Press, the documentary “blends old video footage and TV interviews, Tyson talks about getting beaten up and stolen from when he was an overweight kid. He chokes up when reminiscing about his late trainer, Cus D'Amato, who transformed the troubled teenager into a world-class champion.”
Tyson spares no details in describing his sex life, and covers his career's low points, like biting Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997. He admits to many, many bad decisions.
This documentary might seem fruitful for those who follow the boxing world. Perhaps, it can be used for those who are considering career in boxing. They can find out what pit falls to avoid and the importance of understanding what is right and wrong behavior, so their personal lives flourish as well as their boxing careers.
