00:00Mike Tyson calls himself addicted to chaos in Netflix's documentary trailer.
00:05Netflix released the official trailer for Tyson on September 17th.
00:10The four-part documentary series premieres October 13th, with each episode running one hour.
00:16Floyd Russ directed, and executive producers include Jim Gray, Bill Simmons, and Michael Hughes.
00:23The trailer drew roughly 2.96 million views in the days after release.
00:29Tyson opens the trailer with his origins.
00:32I've lived like a rat on the street all my life, he says.
00:36And the next thing you know, I'm the biggest in the world.
00:40The line compresses a childhood in Brownsville, Brooklyn, marked by poverty, an absent father, and a mother who died when
00:48he was 16.
00:50Tyson was sent to the Tryon School for Boys, where counselor Bobby Stewart spotted his punching power and arranged his
00:56introduction to Cuss D'Amato.
00:58D'Amato took legal guardianship and built a training regimen.
01:02Tyson's assessment is blunt.
01:04He brainwashed me.
01:05He cleaned a dirty mind, and he made it better, but he couldn't prepare me for myself.
01:10The trailer revisits the June 28th, 1997 rematch with Evander Holyfield, when Tyson bit Holyfield's ear and was disqualified by
01:19referee Mills Lane.
01:21Watching it back today, Tyson says,
01:23I was a nut back then, huh?
01:25His wife, Lakeha Kiki Spicer, says,
01:28The things that he's gone through, most people would have just been dead.
01:32Tyson answers,
01:34Yeah, this is the dark side of me.
01:36That's just who I became.
01:37Addicted to chaos.
01:38A commentator notes that sobriety brought Tyson shame over things he had done.
01:44His son, Miguel, says,
01:45I think he's just so broken from his past, but inside there's a broken guy just trying to be a
01:50good father.
01:51Tyson closes on identity.
01:53It's hard to navigate your true self when you really don't know who the you are.
01:58Mike Tyson became boxing's youngest heavyweight champion in 1986,
02:02later losing titles amid major controversies.
02:05He returned to fight Jake Paul in 2024, losing by decision.
