Bad man Mike Tyson insists he is a softie Mr Mom now

London, Sep. 22 (ANI): He might have been a convicted rapist and a wife beater, but world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson now insists that life has transformed him into a family man.

"As far as my personal life goes, everything has changed. I've an eight-month-old baby and a new wife. I'm like Mr Mom now. That's good for me and what I need," The Sun quoted Tyson, 43, as saying.

Tyson's self-proclaimed softie tag is quite a swing from his iron man image. His fans best remember him for biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear during a title bout in 1997.

Tyson recently made the draw for Prizefighter Heavyweights III, an eight-man, one-night tournament at London's ExCel on October 2.

The draw set up a potential final between Brits Danny Williams and Audley Harrison.

"That would be one hell of a final. Danny is great fighter, while Audley has tons of ability and style," Tyson said. (ANI)
