Taking on Tyson

With a group of close friends, Mike Tyson begins an extraordinary personal journey working with the birds he's loved since he was a child and revisiting key places of his youth, including his first detention center.

Hoping their enthusiasm will make up for inexperience, Mike and his team enter their first race competing against two big characters from the New York scene, young hot shot Helder Rodrigues and established champion Joe Green.

Hoping to give back to the community he came from, Mike challenges three of the most prestigious clubs in New York to a high profile charity race to benefit kids from deprived neighborhoods.

Team Tyson takes part in a big race for a charity that helps vulnerable kids from rough areas of the city. It's a week full of dodgeball, bragging and tattoos that has a profound effect on them all.

Team Tyson faces their biggest challenge so far, but the coop caretakers, Junie and Ricky Roman, have a family crisis and Mike has to choose between racing his birds and financially supporting his own family. Can Mario take on the best alone?

Mike issues a challenge to the New York bird world and the Tyson Challenge Cup is born as his extraordinary personal journey into the bird world, coming to terms with his past, present and future, comes to an end.
