Mike Tyson is a man at peace with himself now. He does cover songs and TV shows now. Realizing there is a  Mike Tyson market out there, he has decided to do a one man show. He will start in Vegas and if ticket sales go good, he will do a nationwide tour and possibly Broadway! The show is called  Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.

But Tyson is in good order today. He has come out of it “still here and in good livin’ shape,” having lost 100 pounds from a high of about 300 pounds through exercise and a vegan diet. His eyes remain puffy with scar tissue from the cuts suffered over his career, and that famed tattoo still spreads darkly across the left side of his face.

Today, the 45-year-old Tyson is comfortably reflective, willing and eager to talk about his life. He is a fountain of fascinating tales, inarguably one of the most compelling and controversial figures on the planet.

But what to do with all of this material? It seems a waste to spend it on an audience of one.

Instead, Tyson is bringing a dizzying autobiographical show to the stage in the very hotel where he gnawed Holyfield’s ears. Set to debut April 13 (fittingly, Friday the 13th) at MGM Grand’s Hollywood Theatre is “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth — Live on Stage.”

The show is booked to run through April 18. Tickets in the 740-seat theater are $91. A VIP package offering front-row seats, a meet-and-greet, a photo with Tyson and some sort of commemorative item (a ticket or a program) is offered at $499. Tickets go on sale at the MGM Grand box office and through Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. March 10.

Here is a very emotional interview with Oprah that Mike Tyson did a few years back.

Mike Tyson’s redemption story shows that a person can overcome their demons. It’s up the person to change their life and no one can force them to change.
