At age 28, Tyson was released from prison on March 25, 1995. He emerged from prison with tattoos of Arthur Ashe and Mao Zedong on his arms. He went to a nearby mosque and met with Muhammed Ali immediately after he left the prison grounds. Though many boxing promoters and managers had courted the fighter in prison, it was Don King who was part of Tyson’s entourage and negotiated a deal with Showtime on his fighter’s first day out from behind bars.

Tyson’s controversial defeat at the hands of the aging Holyfield led many to believe that his career was finished. But enduring financial troubles, including $13 million in debt from back taxes, lured Tyson back into the ring through the late 1990s and early 2000s. Tyson took steps to bring more discipline to his fighting and his life. He parted ways with Don King in a flurry of lawsuits. He married again, this time to a pediatrician. His training regimen became steadier and he returned to the ring, making mountains of cash against opponents who offered little opposition. Tyson scored easy victories over British champion Julius Francis in Manchester, England, in February of 2000 and Brian "Danish Pastry" Nielsen in Copenhagen, Denmark, in October of 2001. "I’m back," Tyson said after the latter victory.
Tyson once again had the opportunity to fight for a heavyweight championship in 2002. Lennox Lewis held the WBC, IBF, IBO and Lineal titles at the time. As promising fighters, Tyson and Lewis had sparred at a training camp in a meeting arranged by Cus D'Amato in 1984. Tyson sought to fight Lewis in Nevada for a more lucrative box-office venue, but the Nevada Boxing Commission refused him a license to box as he was facing possible sexual assault charges at the time.
Hulu’s official synopsis bills the show as "one wild ride" that "explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life - from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again."
Mike Tyson, the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history, is perhaps one of the sport’s most notorious figures. His talent is undeniable. As Sports Illustrated observed, "He is the purest of fighters: He hits people and they fall down." While some ponder the kinetic energy behind each punch, Tyson reminds us of the sheer simplicity of the sport. There are no goal lines or plays to call—just two men standing in a ring of physicality, each trying to demolish the other. Yet Tyson also reminds us of the more primal aspect of the sport. From his imprisonment for rape to the cannibalistic comments directed toward Lennox Lewis and his biting of Evander Holyfield’s ear, Tyson’s persona has evolved into that of the brutal aggressor.
The episode starts with Marquess mistaking a mystery for an intervention only to be met with awkwardness soon after. Upon getting to the hospital they are told by the Client Ben That his wife Diane has been in a coma for the past year and needs their help to see if they and bring her back since her vitals seem stable enough for her to wake up. Mike questioning if they should pull the plug on her, as Pigeon Makes and obscene comment. Yung asks Ben if he is concerned about seeing his mom like this only to be met with indifference as he reveals she is his stepmom. Marquess remembers he has the ability to go into dreams. He then leaves to see if they have alcohol to celebrate. Mike then tries ro ungplug life support only to learn that's was the lamp,
Perhaps overconfidence dissuaded Fuller and company from worrying too much about jury composition. As in the Rodney King/L.A.P.D. case, in which the prosecutors left three ex-security guards, the brother of a retired L.A.P.D. sergeant, and three National Rifle Association members on the panel, the defense seemed uninterested as a pro-prosecution jury formed before their very eyes, adding to Tyson’s growing list of handicaps.
However, it was during his time in prison that Tyson began to reflect on his life and make positive changes. He focused on personal growth, education, and overcoming his demons. Upon his release, Tyson embarked on a comeback, aiming to reclaim his position as a boxing legend.
Tyson, however, wasn't worried. He still had his millions, he still had his undefeated pro career, and he still had his title. In April, 1989, he successfully defended the latter two against England's Frank Bruno, easily over-powering him in the fifth round. Then, on June 27 in Atlantic City, in what may have been his greatest night in the ring, he floored former champ Michael Spinks in all of 90 seconds. Then, on February 10, 1990, the unthinkable happened in Tokyo. James "Buster" Douglas, a 42-1 underdog who couldn't even get a photographer to come to his weigh-in, came back from an eighth round knockdown to fell the champ in the tenth. It was impossible, and at first, Don King wouldn't let it happen. He got representatives from the WBC, the WBA, and even the Japan Boxing Commission to declare that Douglas should have been counted out in the eighth round, awarding the fight to Tyson. But King too suffered a rare defeat, and in the face of enormous public outrage, the fight and the title were soon awarded to Buster Douglas.
