Controversial former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is bringing his one man Broadway show to the UK next year.

Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth will run at the Hammersmith Apollo, London (21/22 March), Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow (25 March) and Manchester O2 Apollo (26 March) as part of a European tour.

"I’m excited to take the show abroad and share it with my fans across the globe," said Tyson. "Undisputed Truth is my story – I'm giving my all and I’m proud to take the show internationally."

The autobiographical show, which premiered on Broadway last summer, is written by Tyson's third wife Kiki and directed by filmmaker Spike Lee.

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 spans the highs of winning the heavyweight title to the lows of his conviction for rape in 1992.

Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth is presented by James L Nederlander, executive produced by Mike Tyson, Kiki Tyson, and Adam Steck and originally directed by Randy Johnson.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (27 September).
