LeBron and his partner in crime Maverick Carter will be executive producing all of the Canelo episodes.

"These documentaries will shine a light on the 3-dimensional aspect of who these athletes are outside of the ring and empower them to tell their own stories as they prepare for some of the biggest moments in their boxing careers," Carter said in a statement.
