With nicknames such as "Iron Mike," "Kid Dynamite" and "The Baddest Man on the Planet," Tyson is a larger-than-life legend both in and out of the ring. In addition to having been the undisputed heavyweight champion, Tyson holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles. He was the first heavyweight boxer to hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles simultaneously. In 2011, Tyson was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame. His career in entertainment spans blockbuster movies (The Hangover and The Hangover 2), and television (Animal Planet's "Taking on Tyson"). He has his own clothing company, is CEO of his own production company, Tyrannic Productions and currently has a few film projects in development. "Mike Tyson: UNDISPUTED TRUTH"—Tyson's one-man show directed by famed director Spike Lee—debuted on Broadway in July 2012. It is the raw, no-holds barred life story of Tyson in which he unveils never-before-told stories of his life and experiences as a professional athlete and peels back layers of tragedy, controversies, public turmoil, triumph and survival. On November 16, 2013, it will air as a special on HBO. Tyson is currently retired from boxing and is based in Las Vegas. In August 2013, Tyson returned to the ring with a boxing promotional company called Iron Mike Productions. His memoir Undisputed Truth hit bookstores on November 12, 2013. Tyson is currently starring in his own docu-series on FOX Sports 1, "Being Mike Tyson." Tyson's charity, The Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, was founded in December 2012 with the mission to "give kids a fighting chance" by providing innovative centers that provide for the comprehensive needs of kids from broken homes.
