Iron Mike Ties The Knot Y’All!
We are glad Mike Tyson is finding some solace after all that he has been through. The former heavyweight boxing champ got hitched to Lakiah Spicer on Saturday night in a shotgun ceremony at La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel. Iron Mike was dressed in his best suit and tie he must have looked dashing!
The wedding went down around 10 p.m. after the couple got their marriage certificate from the Clark County marriage certificate office. Tyson, 42 and Spicer, 32 wanted a no frills wedding and they kept it simple with just a plain ceremony..just vows and the big smoocher at the end. Shawn Absher the owner of the wedding chapel said:
“They were very heartwarming, and I think they really do love each other. He seemed happy – and his life’s been up and down.”
Tyson last boxed competitively in 2005. He had previously been married to actress/gold digger Robin Givens and Dr. Monica Turner. I am sure everyone remembers Tyson’s first marriage (which ended after 1 year) to Robin and her infamous Barbara Walters interview where she said she was afraid of Tyson. Of course we also remember his marriage to Turner which lasted five years but I recall her selling the mansion she and Tyson lived in to rapper 50 cent for a fraction of its worth. In the divorce Turner was given the mansion for $1 dollar (yea, that’s it) what a dummy that one is.
Tyson’s third wedding comes less than two weeks after his four-year-old daughter Exodus died after accidentally hanging herself on a treadmill at her mother’s home.
We hope the third time is the charm for The Champ he deserves it.

Update: Mike Tyson’s Daughter Passes Away
Unfortunately, Mike Tyson’s daughter passed away at a hospital Tuesday, after accidentally getting caught in a treadmill cord. Exodus Tyson had been on life support once she arrived at the hospital, but was pronounced dead just before noon the following day. Police investigating the accident had stated that it was a “tragic accident“.
“There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus,” the family said in a statement. “We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal.”
This is such sad news and we definitely send our best wishes and prayers to the family. May she rest in peace.

Mike Tyson’s Daughter on Life Support
Iron Mike Tyson’s four-year-old daughter is on life support after an accident on a treadmill. Exodus Tyson was found by her 7-year-old brother hanging by a cord of a treadmill. Exodus’s mother was in another room when the unfortunate accident occured but she did call 911 and attempted to revive her. The firefighters and police officers administered CPR as Exodus was sent to a nearby hospital where she is brain dead, on life support, and is listed in “extremely critical condition.”
Sgt. Andy Hill said: “Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there’s a cord that hangs under the console — it’s kind of a loop, either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it.”
We hope Exodus pulls through. We pray for Mike and his family.
