Iron Mike Tyson does as his wife tells him
CONTROVERSIAL boxer Mike Tyson flew into Scotland yesterday and said he would like to go sightseeing – but only if his wife Lakiha lets him.
Convicted rapist and former world heavyweight champion ‘Iron’ Mike, 44, is booked to appear at a series of sports galas during a four-day tour.
Tyson will be the centre of attention at £100-a-head question and answer sessions in Glasgow and Aberdeen.
His last visit to Scotland 10 years ago, when he defeated fellow American heavyweight Lou Savarese at Hampden, was riddled with controversy.
He said: “I would like to go sightseeing but I doubt it. However if my wife wants to then we will make something happen.”
However Tyson’s presence in Scotland was greeted with dismay by critics.
