KEY POINTS:

    Mike Tyson considers it a miracle he lived to tell his tale.

    And the 41-year-old former boxer's telling it - in graphic detail - in a new documentary at the Cannes Film Festival.

    "I lived a wild and extreme life," the former heavyweight champion said. "I used drugs.
    I had altercations with dangerous people. I slept with guys' wives that wanted to kill me. I'm just happy to be here, you know. It's just a miracle."

    Tyson got a prolonged ovation at the Tyson screening in Cannes.
