If you've ever been fortunate enough to sit down with the voice of the octagon Bruce Buffer, you know that he's never short on stories to tell. The man is a raconteur who has lived a fascinating life, filled with twists and turns.

One of them is the subject of an upcoming feature on HBO's acclaimed Real Sports series. 

On May 20, the show airs a segment on Bruce and Michael Buffer, who is also known worldwide as the voice of boxing. As you probably knew, the two are brothers. But what's little known about them is the incredible story of how they found that out.

In next Tuesday's show, Real Sports correspondent Soledad O'Brien sits down with the duo and dives into their family history, learning that Michael Buffer was put into foster care as a baby before eventually being reunited with Bruce as grown men. Bruce was already 30 and Michael was in his 40s when they met for the first time. The two have gone on to create a successful business venture together, "The Buffer Partnership," which has them positioned as the leaders in their field.

No word on whether the legendary "Buffer 360" will be included, as any good Bruce Buffer bio should.
