Mike Tyson coming to Atlanta but not to box

Mike Tyson is coming to Atlanta, but not to fight anyone. Instead he is bringing his one-man show, "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," to the Fox Theatre on April 20.

“’Undisputed Truth’ is my story," Tyson said in a statement. "I'm giving my all.  I’m proud to take the show nationwide."

Atlanta is of course home to Tyson's former foe Evander Holyfield, whose ear Tyson once chomped while on the job. They made up a few years ago, on Oprah Winfrey's couch.

“I have forgiven,” Holyfield said during their joint appearance on Oprah's former daytime show. “I have moved on and realized it was part of life and things happen. Things happen all the time in my life. My life wouldn’t be what it is if it hadn’t happened.”

Responded Tyson at the time: “I’m extremely grateful. I’m just so happy to extend my friendship to him. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for him.”

So maybe he'll spot Holyfield a few tickets to his Atlanta show? 

The performance is billed as "a rare, personal look inside the life and mind of one of the most feared men ever to wear the heavyweight crown." It might also be a way for Iron Mike to raise a little cash.

" Despite making about $400 million over the past 20 years, Tyson managed to squander his fortune," this New York Times story detailing Tyson's financial woes reported.

Tickets for Tyson's show, directed by Spike Lee and further billed as "a must-see theatrical knockout," are now on sale. They range from $57.15-142.50 including all fees. See www.FoxAtlTix.com, call 855-ATL-TIXX ((855-285-8499) or pick them up at the Fox Theatre box office.
