Sony Pictures Classics has finalized a distribution deal for "Tyson," James Toback's documentary about the controversial boxer Mike Tyson.

The movie is getting its North American premiere at Sundance, in the Spectrum program. Sony has been circling the film since its world premiere last May at Cannes, according to Daily Variety. (That's Toback with Tyson in the photo, taken at Cannes.)

As part of Sony's deal, NBA star Carmelo Anthony has signed on as one of the film's executive producers.
