  • Mike Tyson: the scariest man on the planet (part one)

    Mike Tyson: the scariest man on the planet (part one)
    Nov 12 2024

    The year is 1977. An 11-year-old Mike Tyson is high on acid, terrorising the people of Brooklyn with a world war one bayonet.


    Little did they know, this wild-eyed urchin is destined to become the youngest heavyweight champion in history.


    He robbed houses, got his prison counsellor pregnant, and made Brad Pitt beg for his life.


    This is the story of the scariest man on the planet…


    With guest Will Richards.
