People Editorial Guidelines Published on May 24, 2021 08:00AM EDT Mike Tyson found a new family when boxing manager and trainer Cus D'Amato took him in. An exclusive clip from the upcoming ABC News documentary series about Tyson looks at the boxer's life with D'Amato, who often had a full house of young athletes he was training. D'Amato became the athlete's guardian when Tyson's mother died when he was 16. "It became very much a home for Mike Tyson, which he had never really had," Ross Greenburg, former president of HBO Sports, says in Mike Tyson: The Knockout. While staying in the home, Tyson — who up until that point had had a difficult and troubled youth in Brooklyn, New York — had to do his part, taking on chores like shoveling the sidewalk and bringing out the garbage.

Discussing Tyson in old footage, Camille Ewald, D'Amato's partner, says, "I think he grew up without any love or affection, he just grew up in the street looking for something. He wanted somebody to pay attention to him." Tyson, now 54, was the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990. The four-hour, two-part series will also look at Tyson's personal life, with the athlete and his contemporaries recounting "the climb, the crash and the comeback" of his boxing career.

"If Cus was happy, it made me happy," said Tyson. "If me knocking out people made him happy, f---, I wanna do it. I wanna knock out five people a day. Really, because that made him happy. That was my job, I just wanted him to be happy." Mike Tyson: The Knockout premieres on Tuesday, at 8 p.m. EST, with the second installment airing at the same time on June 1 on ABC.
