Mike Tyson wants to ‘dance and sing’

HONG KONG (AFP)Former heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson said Wednesday he wants to “dance and sing” in musicals as his next challenge, after leaving the ring and cleaning up his troubled life. “I want to dance and sing. I want to do some dancing and singing musicals,” Tyson told reporters during a visit to Hong Kong when asked what he wanted to do with his life next. The 46-year-old Hall of Fame boxer who served time in jail for assault and infamously bit off part of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a fight in 1997, said he now just wanted to “hang out and entertain”. “I don’t have the desire to be that guy anymore,” he said of his previous life as the self-styled “baddest man on the planet” who won 44 of his 58 fights by knockout.
