This time, Mike Tyson is taking a bite out of the Big Apple. The former boxer announced Monday that he will bring his one-man show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, to the Longacre Theatre in New York City for six nights only, July 31 to Aug. 5. The confessional production is also a Broadway debut for Spike Lee, who directs the show, which made its debut at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in April. Tyson became the youngest heavyweight champion in 1986 but is perhaps best known for biting opponent Evander Holyfield's ear during a fight in 1997.
