Tyrell Biggs Documentary

[Tyrellbiggsdoc]

“In 1984, US Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist Tyrell Biggs is hailed as the second coming of Muhammad Ali. What should have been the dream launch of an international boxing legend in reality, marked the beginning of a long period of misfortunes, both in and out of the ring. This feature biopic explores one man’s fall from grace into the depths of despair that pushes him to vanish. Living in that territory in between fame and failure, Biggs confronts a struggle that lives within us all.”

Lunchbox Communications in collaboration with D&D management is currently making a feature documentary on 1984 U.S Super Heavy Weight Champion Tyrell Biggs, entitled Whatever happened to Tyrell Biggs?

Whatever Happened to Tyrell Biggs?

kickstarter.com/projects/602060953/whatever-happened-to-tyrell-biggs


Tyrell Biggs, a standout athlete in high school, takes up boxing and wins Olympic Gold and his first 15 pro fights. But there's a dark side to Biggs, one that includes a history of drug and alcohol abuse. Following a devastating loss in his title fight with Tyson, Biggs falls into obscurity, then must slowly try to rebuild his life.

Were drugs his downfall - the addiction he could never really overcome? Did his management take him too far too fast, throwing him in too soon against the brutal and seemingly indestructible Mike Tyson? What was the long-term damage inflicted on him by the savage beating he endured at the hands of Tyson and did he ever really recover from it? And how does one explain the catastrophically downward spiral of his career as he subsequently loses against a series of opponents far less skilled than he?

Tyrell's sudden appearance in a West Philadelphia Gym where he is unknown to a group of young afterschool boxing hopefuls is where the story reignites. Biggs's former managers and trainers, as well as referees, boxing historians, friends and opponents, all have strong opinions about the character of the man, the skills he possessed and the promise that was never fulfilled. His sudden fall from grace, his loss of heart and his struggle make for a gut-wrenching tale.
