Netflix released the trailer for "Tyson Fury" on Thursday. According to What's on Netflix and Bleacher Report, the roughly 90-minute documentary will be released worldwide on November 27 – exactly two weeks before Fury faces Anthony Joshua at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11. That fight is also on Netflix.
The film follows Fury from childhood through his boxing career, built on interviews with Fury himself, his wife Paris and his father John, plus archive footage. According to Netflix's description, quoted by What's on Netflix, it draws on "remarkable access to Tyson and his family to reveal a more personal side of the heavyweight champion". It also covers setbacks and crises outside the ring that Fury has spoken about publicly for years.
The film is directed by Lucy Wilcox and produced by George Waldrum. It is not Fury's first Netflix production: the reality series "At Home with the Furys" has already aired on the streaming service.
