Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and legendary filmmaker Spike Lee will bring Tyson's hit one-man stage show to TV in HBO Films' Mike Tyson: UNDISPUTED TRUTH. It was filmed in New York at the Imperial Theatre last week and will debut on the network later this year. BroadwayWorld brings you photos of the temporary Imperial marquee below!

Tyson recently wrapped up a ten-week U.S. tour of "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," which debuted in Las Vegas in spring 2012 and ran on Broadway last summer, with Lee directing.

Reviewing the stage production, the Los Angeles Times called Tyson "a riveting stage presence with compelling stories to tell" and New York's Daily News described his show as "entertaining" and "fascinating," adding that he "is gifted with iron-clad charisma."

Mike Tyson: UNDISPUTED TRUTH is executive produced by Spike Lee, Mike Tyson, Kiki Tyson, Jon Kilik and James Nederlander; directed by Spike Lee; written by Kiki Tyson.
