This weekend the Urbanworld Film Festival premiered ESPN’s documentary chronicling the relationship of former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson and hip-hop great Tupac Shakur. The documentary takes an in depth look at the events leading up to the infamous One Night in Vegas, which ended both the life of Shakur and Tyson’s boxing career as a heavyweight contender.

The film includes interviews and accounts of Tyson and Shakur’s unlikely friendship, from some of their closest friends to people who had memorable encounters with the two men. Everyone from actor Mickey Rourke, long time friend of Mike Tyson, to former Death Row Records CEO Marion “Suge” Knight, and even Mike Tyson himself were interviewed, with detailed accounts of the significant Tyson fight and the actual night Shakur was gunned downed on the Vegas strip.
