Mike Tyson will be playing the role of Reggie Rhodes, a sympathetic victim of child abuse who murdered one of his attackers.

In real life, the former undisputed heavyweight champ was arrested in connection with the rape of an 18-year-old beauty queen, Miss Black America hopeful Desiree Washington, in July of 1991.
